GIT for rotten old timers

If you have not slept in a cave for the last few years, you may have heard of GIT. You may have tried it and thought it does not worth a penny, because it is too complicated for for doing same things that SVN !

I agree with you, most of GIT is useless for enterprise development. In a few words, GIT is a super patching tool for coding all over the world and exchanging with you geek friends. The idea behind the bush is that in a respectable cool and open minded community, no central referential should prevail. GIT is all about cloning, retrieving things from others and pushing it it to some friends.

Let's say things in the sharpest way, as compared to SVN, GIT is mainly a political fight. 

But just in order to be cool and fashnable, a set of command to blindly apply.

Checkout a remote repository (now you call it clone)

$ git clone

Create a branch locally (before you start to work)
$ git branch

Push the branch on github to let the other know you started a branch. This is an optional step to avoid conflict, since a pranch is automatically pushed when you push a commit.

$ git push origin

Switch your new branch
 $ git checkout

Add tracked files to a commit
$ git add files

Commit locally
$ git commit files


Commit remotely
$ git push origin name_of_your_new_branch
