Some tips for working with git

Since July 2010, main sources of OpenMOLE and SimExplorer are stored on a git versioning system.

Usual commands

How to retrieve the sources:

git clone http://git.simexplorer.org/

How to add files to git repository:

git add {list of file or * for recursive finding of new files}

How to commit your modifications:

git commit {list of files or -a for all}

How to push your commits on the server (don't forget the last slash):

git push http://yourlogin@git.simexplorer.org/

How to update your local version:

git pull

How to revert local changes on some files:

git checkout -- path/to/your/file

Git configuration

Start by giving to git your username/email:

git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email you@example.com

You can then add some alias commands, for example:

git config --global alias.st status
git config --global alias.ci commit

And maybe add some colours:

git config --global color.ui auto

Then, as git uses curl, you have to configure authentification by editing the .netrc file like this:

machine git.simexplorer.org
login yourlogin
password xxxxxxxx

Don't forget to restrict access rights to this file that contain your password.
