There doesn't seem to be much information about the git-rails gem on google. That fact alone would have persuaded me to go a different route. Why not actually download and install git? I am in the same position as you: I am learing git(as of 3 days ago) but on a mac. But you installed cygwin, so that means you should have a unix like environment to work with, and we should be in the same boat. I downloaded git itself and installed it. I used this tutorial to start: Starting with git using just 10 commands (I'm only using 5 so far) http://blog.xkoder.com/2008/08/13/git-tutorial-starting-with-git-using-just-10-commands/ But it was hard to find a tutorial that actually tells you how to rollback to a previous version of your code. This one does: http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~blynn/gitmagic/ch02.html#_saving_state (see section Advanced Undo/Redo--I'm not sure why it's titled "Advanced" since it's so basic.) -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
