Commands which only display repository data work out of the box on any Git repository. This includes 'got log', 'got tree', and 'tog'. To make changes with Got you can check out a work tree from any existing Git repository. Given a Git repository in ~/src/myproject/ you would run something like this: got checkout ~/src/myproject src/myproject-got-work-tree cd ~/src/myproject-got-work-tree >From this work tree you can commit changes with Got. Any changes you commit will show up in the Git repository. Git's work tree will show such changes as staged changes, and getting Git back on track requires a command such as 'git reset --hard master'. Got ignores Git's work tree and treats every Git repository as if it was a so-called "bare" repository (a repository without a Git work tree). See 'man git-repository' and 'man got-worktree' for details.
