* Branches
** in my own words: working with branches is central to git; some people make a branch for each feature they are working on; I think each developer should have his own branch, and merge to master as often as possible; you can have local and remote branches; it would make sense to create a local branch, and then push it to the server creating a remote branch.

TortoiseGit

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

It requires "Git on Windows" http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/; be careful: use the official git installer from that site, eg. Git-1.6.3.2-preview20090608.exe, not the fullinstaller or other packages.

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 revert a single file: use git checkout filename (see http://norbauer.com/notebooks/code/notes/git-revert-reset-a-single-file)
  • to ignore eg. *.bak files, create a file .gitignore and add the files; eg see OpenPetra/csharp/.gitignore
