Git tips

For Vaa3D developers that are used to SVN:

SSH Access

Once you have the push access, make sure your remote origin is set up accordingly so that you don't have to enter password every time when you check in your code.

Do git remote -v, you should see the following (instead of the https url):

git@github.com:Vaa3D/vaa3d_tools.git

git@github.com:Vaa3D/v3d_external.git

Daily workflow

Similar to svn status:

git status

Similar to svn up, you can do :

git pull

If you have local commits that are older than the upstream master branch commits, to avoid merge commits, it's better to use:

git pull --rebase

Similar to 'svn ci -m ', you can do:

git commit

You need to push your local commits to the public repo, you can do :

git push
