[support] Using Git

[Metzler, David]

You sound really frustrated Nancy.... sorry to hear that.  

 

I use EGit on my eclipse environment and find it pretty intuitive to
check in changes, branch and tag.  It's also really handy for easily
switching between branches when you need to support multiple dev
branches on the same core tree. 

 

I'd be happy to help you get that set up, but unfortunately the problem
with Gui's is there are too many of them to develop sane documentation
for it. I just don't know or use msysgit, so I'm sorry I can't help you
there.

I have downloaded msysgit.

1.	It has a GUI built-in, so why does everyone list command line
stuff? I was dragged, kicking and screaming, into the GUI world and
really don't want to go back, especially when I have to type in really
long file locations and arcane parameters.
2.	All I want to do is commit (CVS term) my changed code to D.O. I
don't need a lot of other fancy stuff. 
3.	How do I get my 6.x code into my D7 sites/all/modules, convert
it, and save it back as a 7.x version?

Secondarily, I need to use it for patches to other modules.

 

Yes, I have been looking at the tutorials on D.O. Seriously, do you
think an old blond like me understands all that with limited to no
explanations on what I am doing?
