Git-ting on my nerves







The "quickstart" portion of the Git SVN guide


I have used Subversion for most of my projects. However, for this project we are using Git. It took me a bit to understand the concept of Git. I did find a site that has a Git SVN crash course, kind of a "converters" guide to using Git. For commonly used SVN commands the Git equivalent is also given.

I encountered some problems using Git. When I used SVN, I would just do an update and it would get the newest changes. However, when I used Git, if I moved a file to say my desktop and did a pull the file would not get updated. After many trials to fix the problem, George advised me that using the clone command would be the easiest fix.
