This tutorial explains how to import a new project into Git, make
changes to it, and share changes with other developers.
If you are instead primarily interested in using Git to fetch a
project, for example, to test the latest version, you may prefer
to start with the first two chapters of The Git User's Manual
[1].
First, note that you can get documentation for a command such as
git log --graph
with:
$ man git-log
or:
$ git help log
With the latter, you can use the manual viewer of your choice;
see git-help(1) for more information.
It is a good idea to introduce yourself to Git with your name and
public email address before doing any operation. The easiest way
to do so is:
$ git config --global user.name "Your Name Comes Here"
$ git config --global user.email you@yourdomain.example.com
