(1) Install Git and ROR3 Tools (2) configure

$ git config --global user.name "Your Name" $ git config --global user.email [email protected] $ git config --global alias.co checkout $ git config --global alias.ci commit $ git config --global core.editor "mate -w"

(3)$ git init

(4) edit the gitignore file,here is the sample file content: .bundle db/.sqlite3 log/.log .log tmp/*/ tmp/ doc/api doc/app .swp *~ .DS_Store (5) to add the file to the git respository $ git add . (6) to view the status $ git status (7) to commit changes $ git commit -m "Initial commiit"

     if commit all the changes, the step (6) and step (7) can be as follows:

  $ git  commit -a -m "commit comment"
        <OR>
        $ git  commit -am "commit comment"

(8) to view git log $ git log

        OR　

        git show <FILE_NAME>

(9) to push local source file to remote $ git remote add origin [email protected]:/first_app.git

  $ git push origin master

  $ git push

(10) $ git checkout -b New_Branch_name

create a new branch and switch to it

(11) $git mv oldfile newfile

rename the oldfile name

(12) merge the branch to master $ git checkout master Switched to branch 'master' $ git merge modify-README (13) git branch -D Need_to_delete_branch_name

(14) when pull source from remote server you should use : $ git pull origin master to get the lastest source from remote server

(15) git tag usage

the helper online is http://learn.github.com/p/tagging.html

 git tag to create list .etc tags

 git tag -a tag_name -m "commit tag-comment"

 git tag -l 0.1.*   # to list all the 0.1.* tags

 git show tag_name # to show all That shows the tagger information, date it was tagged and the annotation message before showing the commit information.

 git tag -s v1.5 -m 'my signed 1.5 tag'
 # You can also sign your tags with GPG, assuming you have a private key and everything. All you have to do is use -s instead of -a

 git tag v1.4-lw

Another way to tag commits is with a ‘lightweight’ tag.

 # This is basically just the commit checksum stored in a file - no other information is kept.
 # To create a lightweight tag, simply don’t supply the ‘-a’, ‘-s’ or ‘-m’ options. 

git show v1.4-lw

 ####
 # To verify a signed tag, you just use ‘git tag -v (tag)’.
 # That will use gpg to verify the signature. You’ll need the signers public key in your keyring

git tag -v v1.4.2.1

 git push --tags

By default, the ‘git push’ command will not transfer tags to remote servers.

To do so, you have to explicitly add a –tags to the ‘git push’ command
