Re: Trying out Git (for translators)
Hello Ihar, My understanding is that the consensus is towards git. I did not notice an announcement that picks officially git in the place of other distributed SCMs. However, since many people are working now on testing git, I assume that this is the direction. I hope this helps, Simos On Mon, Jan 19, 2009 at 7:54 PM, Ihar Hrachyshka wrote: > Maybe I missed something.

Re: Trying out Git (for translators)
Maybe I missed something. Is it 100% that Git will be used for Gnome development?

Hi Simos, This is really nice. I'd like to offer one tip that people might find useful. The "git commit" command can optionally take file names to commit. These are effectively auto-added before commit. I don't use "commit -a", because I like to review my work, but when you just want to commit a single file, as translators would, "git commit el.po" is easier than "git add el.po; git commit". Nothing Earth-shattering. Just thought it would be handy to our intrepid translators. -- Shaun ___ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n

Great walkthrough! Thank you for taking the time and writing this up! Now we can point people at it and get them started too! :) Cheers, -- Og B.

Trying out Git (for translators)
Hi All, There are some instructions at http://live.gnome.org/GitMigration/Translators that describe the commands to use Git. The server git.gnome.org is available for testing (it contains test copies of repositories), and any changes you make will be eventually discarded when the final migration takes place. I think it would be a good opportunity to try out the commands and upload some (dummy) translation updates. If you use Debian/Ubuntu, you need to install the 'git-core' package in order to get the Git commands.
