git
Checkout
git clone <repo> name
Checks out a copy of repo into the named directory
git clone nimbus.aboutus.com:/opt/git/aboutus aboutus-1.10.0
you'll want to edit .git/info/exclude and add at least LocalSettings.php, don't know how we can get these transmitted automatically
Status
git status
Diff
git diff
Update
git pull
Commit
git commit -a -m "commit message"
This will commit the changes to your local repository.
make *sure* you check status first, this will add all new files and commit them to your local repository.
If you don't want to use -a (probably a good idea) then run git add for each file you want to update before you run git commit.
Yes, that means that you have to git add a file every time you modify it, even if the file is already being tracked.
Push
git push origin
will push all commited patches you have on your local repository to the shared one you checked out from
Revert
for CVS style revert, i.e. to replace a fie with what it was before you changed it:
git diff filename | patch -R
