Although KDE is currently using SVN, we're working on moving to git. Also, a growing number of developers are using git-svn to contribute to KDE.
There are many resources available for learning about Git; the techbase pages below provide a kde-specific introduction, based on the most common tasks. After those links is a list of external documentation we've found useful.
Note: these pages are not complete. help would be appreciated. :) The idea is to provide information in more of a 'recipe' style than 'tutorial': first provide simple commands that people can use Right Now for straightforward tasks, then links to other pages or external git documentation for the tricky things.
Gitting Started
- Learn the Basics of git (greeneg)
- Find the sources for a KDE Project (10% done)
- Read how to push code back to the KDE repositories (0% done)
- Learn how to use git-svn with kde's older svn-based projects. (needs cleanup)
More advanced git usage
Git has many features that older systems like SVN do not have. Some of the trickier things are detailed here.
