git is the revision control system which has been adopted to keep track of the AuScope codebase.

A comprehensive reference can be found at the git homepage: http://git-scm.com/.

The quick version:

pull changes down from the central repository (do this before making your own work.):

git pull origin master

Add a file:

git add <filename/directory>

remove a file:

git rm <filename/directory>

commit some changes:

git commit -m “commit message” <files/directories>

Push committed changes up to the central repository (do this after you've finished):

git push origin master

See how you've changed a file:

git diff <filename>

See what changes have been made to the codebase:

git status
