================================================================ HOWTO ===========================================================
To get a copy of the repo:
git clone <repository URL>
git clone http://your-username@scm.trinitydesktop.org/scm/git/<repository name >
To exclude items:
Create a file '.gitignore'
To add to the git repository (easiest and most efficient way):
git add .
(this will add everything in the folder (excluding stuff from .gitignore).)
(this will add everything in the folder (excluding stuff from .gitignore). It is intentionally a period because * will make git ignore already committed files. )
To commit to the git repository (this does not send to the remote server!):
git commit -a
@ -39,3 +49,27 @@ To tag a commit WITH GPG verification (secure release anyone?):
git tag -s <version> -m <message>
================================================================= NOTE ============================================================
GIT cannot store empty directories due to a intentional design limitation.
Therefore, this command should be run prior to any commits to ensure your empty directories stick around:
find . -type d -empty -exec touch {}/.gitignore \;
This will add a .gitignore to every empty directory.
================================================================ WORKFLOW ==========================================================
git clone http://your-username@scm.trinitydesktop.org/scm/git/<repository>
<make your changes, test, etc>
cd <repository checkout directory>
find . -type d -empty -exec touch {}/.gitignore \;
git add .
git commit -a
git pull
git push
