Maybe you know some SCM (revision control system) like CVS, Subversion or Perfoce.Cool, but you are already late.<\/p>\n

Since many years now, new sort of system came up. They are called DCVS<\/a>, and let’s called them \u00ab\u00a0decentralized\u00a0\u00bb, or \u00ab\u00a0distributed\u00a0\u00bb. Famous systems are Git, but also Darcs, Mercurial, or Bazaar.<\/p>\n

The main difference with \u00ab\u00a0distributed\u00a0\u00bb systems compare to \u00ab\u00a0centralized\u00a0\u00bb are we do not need a central repository. Anyone is able to create and manage it’s own repository, locally, or merge it’s branch with another one somewhere on internet, etc.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

To put it on a nutsheel, Git has been developped by Linus Torvald to manage linux kernel source code. It’s a powerfull system which can manage branch, diff, interface with svn, etc. There is lot of documentation, and I’ll\u00a0 give some links to start with git, and few commands to manage a project locally.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The basic thing you may use : you are writing a project locally, and want to add a simple versionning system :<\/p>\n

cd ~path\/to\/my\/project
git init
git add .
git commit -m \"Initial commit, or whatever message you want to say\" -a<\/pre>\n
\u00a0And that’s it. When you want to commit your work, just do a git commit -m \u00ab\u00a0message\u00a0\u00bb -a<\/p>\n
If you made a mistake, you may want to revert to the previous commit :<\/p>\n
git revert HEAD<\/pre>\n
Yeah, you know enough to start with git. No more excuse if you make mistake on your project now. <\/p>\n
