Basic git commands

We'll be using a classic configuration of Git over SVN. In other words, we will be running and "old" SVN repository with Git clients so that we get all the flexibility of Git without having to change the server configuration and migrating all of the source code to Git.

The first obvious thing one wants to do in such a situation is to get hold of some project in the repository. There are several ways of doing this. One simple way is to get oneself into a cosy directory where we want a project to land and initialize the git repository like so:

git svn init -s PROJECT_URL LOCAL_DIR_NAME

and then go fetch it:

git svn fetch

If you want to make sure you are up to date simply type:

git svn rebase

and if you want to commit changes centrally use:

git svn dcommit
