Install

Use msysgit for windows.

To install on linux, see here git-scm.com.

To build newest version, for example 1.8.x on CentOS, see here git_build.

Git user/repository variables

This setup should provide a good framework

See config list

git config --list

Git setup commit information

Write in terminal

git config --global --add user.name "Your Name"
git config --global --add user.email you@example.com

It is recommended to install EditPad Lite, and use this as an commit message editor, so you won't have line ending mis-match in windows. Just save after writing the commmit message, and exit the program. The message is committed.

#Windows
git config --global --add core.editor "EditPadLite7"
#Linux
git config --global --add core.editor "nano"
git config --global --add core.editor "gedit"
git config --global --add core.editor "vim"
#Optional, if you want to synchronize to your github account
git config --global --add github.user GIT_USER_NAME

Git aliases

For creating shorter Git aliases

git config --global alias.co checkout
git config --global alias.br branch
git config --global alias.com commit
git config --global alias.stat "status -uno"

Git local repository file settings

relax_commit.txt

Write in "relax_commit.txt", by getting template from Format_commit_logs.

git config --add commit.template "relax_commit.txt"

.gitignore

Consider placing a file .gitignore in the root of the repository.
It could contain this information

# Git files
relax_commit.txt
.gitignore
authors.txt
relax_scripts
*.patch
