   1 [Git][] is a [distributed][DVCS] [verision control system][VCS].
   2 Highly recommended.  There is an excellent [tutorial][], or you can
   3 take a look at my [[notes]] (best viewed in [[Emacs]] org-mode).  See
   4 [[git-publish.py]] for a useful Git public-repository setup script.

   6 If you want a better understanding of the Git model, check out the
   7 [Git Internals][internals] chapter of the [Pro Git][book] book.

   9 I've published Git repositories for most of my more involved [projects][].
  10
  11 You can download a repo with
  12
  13     git clone http://www.physics.drexel.edu/~wking/code/git/<repo-name> <local-dir>
  14
  15 For example
  16
  17     git clone http://www.physics.drexel.edu/~wking/code/git/sawsim.git sawsim
  18
  19 Of course, traditional tarballs, zips, etc. are also available through
  20 the web interface.
  21
  22 There are many tools which use version control systems as storage
  23 backends for various utilities.  For example, [ikiwiki][] is a
  24 VCS-based wiki, and [[Bugs Everywhere|BE]] is a VCS-based bug tracker.
  25
  26 I've also written up a few scripts to automate common Git tasks:
  27
  28 * [[git-unmerged-branches.sh]] lists unmerged branches
