[vlc-devel] Git activated

[Pierre d'Herbemont]

Hi,

We have been switching to git.

You are strongly encouraged to play a bit with the vlc-sandrox prior  
to commit on vlc.git if you don't know git.

__ Committing something to vlc-sandrox.git __

$ git config --global user.name "Your Name"
$ git config --global user.email "me at example.com"
$ git clone git at git.videolan.org:vlc-sandrox.git
$ cd vlc-sandrox
$ echo "Add me!" >> test
$ git commit -a
$ git push # This actually send your changes


__ Cloning vlc.git __
$ git clone git at git.videolan.org:vlc.git


__ Committing *locally* __
$ git commit -a

__ Keeping in sync __
To keep in sync use:
$ git pull --rebase
(This put all your commit on top of trunk)
(You can set a flag for that, see the wiki or git pull --help)


__ Committing to a branch __
$ git push master:remotebranch

I think that should be enough to bootstrap.

Be sure to read
http://wiki.videolan.org/Git
(Set git in color, use git rebase -i, use git bisect, etc...)

and complete wiki.videolan.org/Git  with whatever helped you,

Thanks,

Pierre.

Note:
1) git at videolan.org sends commit emails to vlc-devel at videolan.org.  
Someone may need to add it to the list of subscribers.
2) buildbot and trac are going to move to git by tomorrow.
