TortoiseGit

This works fine on Windows, although it is still work in progress...

Git Bash

• You need to add each changed file before you commit. Otherwise that file will not be part of the next commit.
• If you added too many files by accident, and you want to lose them completely: (use this carefully with -f) git rm . -r
  • even better: to unstage: git reset HEAD <file>...
• undo all local changes: git checkout -f
• to ignore eg. *.bak files, create a file .gitignore and add the files; eg see OpenPetra/csharp/.gitignore
