    Setup Amarok Clone

    Gitorious has one address for cloning, and another for pushing. The pushing address can be used for cloning, so the easy thing to do is just use that.

    git clone [email protected]:amarok/amarok.git
    

    This will create a directory 'amarok'. cd into that and start developing!

    Basic Development

    90% of the time this is all that is needed:

    git pull #update to latest code
    #edit code, build, it works!
    git status #to check if you want to commit all the modified files
    git commit -a #the -a option commits all modified files. use git add to select them individually
    git push
