You might have better luck creating a repository where you already have your source files :-). (If you're worried about what QtC does, you can just run 'git init .' in your existing source tree. This will create a .git subdirectory but won't touch anything else. I suspect this is all QtC does, but I don't use QtC.) > Now... how can I add my existing project(s) to that repository?

You can copy them there (as Thiago suggests), or see above. -- Matthew ___ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest

Git obviously is the consensus :-) I installed git and I can see the "Git" pull-down menu in Qt Creator. I selected the "Create Repository" menu entry and chose an empty folder. Now... how can I add my existing project(s) to that repository? All other menu entries of the "Git" menu are ghosted.

I really like it. I used Perforce years ago. Unless it's gotten much better, the only feature it has that I ever found useful is that its history tracks the integration of individual changesets, rather than just branch heads (useful if you want to merge only the later part of a branch; if you decide later to merge the rest, p4 knows which changesets were skipped the first time). Otherwise, I prefer git in every way. (Having to "open" files before they can be edited, for instance, is especially annoying and IMO unnecessarily inefficient.) > But use git. Even though it's overkill if not doing distributed > development, _everyone_ uses it. It may be overkill, but it's also a joy to use. Here's how to set up a git repository for personal use: $ git init . *That's it*. I'm not going to try to explain how to set up a svn or p4 instance for personal use. Suffice to say, it's nowhere near as easy as git. This "only" gets you a local repository, but it's similarly trivial to add a remote repository later. (Unlike centralized VCS's, git repositories are "peers"; associations can be created or dropped at any time, and the idea of a "primary" repository is a purely sociopolitical convention.) -- Matthew ___ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest

I really like it. The only issue is by default files not checked out are readonly. This causes problems when building for iOS/Android as the manifest files can't be changed without a checkout. But use git. Even though it's overkill if not doing distributed development, _everyone_ uses it. Look at Atlassian's SourceTree (free with registration) for a comprehensive GUI for git. Use git. Git it. ___ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest

[Interest] Local version control with Qt Creator on Linux
Hi! I am experimenting with Qt5 + Qt Creator on Linux Kubuntu. I would like to try using the version management integration of Qt Creator. I don't want to use a public server so I need to setup something local. I am not an expert in Linux administration... setting up the server side and connecting it to Qt Creator should be pretty simple. Easy backup of the repository would be nice. I have experiences in using SVN (as client side user with Tortoise and other clients) and I am very satisfied with it. I am a single user and there are no plans of any team work. What version management software should I try to install in your opinion? -- Regards, Bernhard signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. ___ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
