Guide to using Git with Redmine Hack

This page is both for project managers and others that work with Redmine Hacks.

Git Background

If you're new to Git, check out my 5-Minute Git Guide. It was written for a different site, but almost all of the information is relevant.

Checking Out The Source

(This is for members of the public, not Project Managers; they should be following the instructions in GitSetup)

Just:

git clone git://git.redminehacks.org/projectname.git

Where projectname is the name of the project. You can find that on the Redmine Hacks Gitweb

If you get an error, you can substitute "http://" for "git://" in the above command. It'll be slower, but works with more firewalls.

Onward from here

The 5-minute git guide should help explain the remaining basic operation. The only difference will be submitting patches: generally you'll want to attach the result of git format-patch to an issue rather than emailing it anywhere.
