If you're having trouble with CVS, file an issue in the Infrastructure queue, or find somebody like davereid who can help you. Full information on the Git migration is at http://groups.drupal.org/drupal-org-git-migration-team, including open hours for testing this coming week (lots of them). We'd love to have all project maintainers testing. For real-time support, #drupal-gitsupport is open for business. -Randy On Fri, Feb 18, 2011 at 9:11 AM, nan wich <nan_wich@bellsouth.net> wrote:

One option with Ubuntu is to use the Wubi installer. It doesn't require burning a CD, and instead installs Ubuntu into a disk image. Though a bit slower due to the IO redirection, I've never noticed it myself. It also means that you don't have to repartition your drive. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide I wouldn't totally give up on virtualization, even on older systems. I run an Ubuntu VM in VirtualBox on a system that's nearly 4 years old and it works quite well. As all of the software needed is free, it only costs an hour or two of your time and you might end up pleasantly surprised. --Andrew

I think CLI is about reading manual, and remembering common tasks, the easiest way to get started is by typing $git --help and $man git. Or any command --help. It's the programmer's job to provide decent working help-print-outs. For the most part isn't git is about hooks and scripts? we'll be needing shell environment for this, right?? CMIIW Virtual system is one way to do it, don't have to burn the cd/dvd-disc, there should be an option to mount iso-file as a virtual cd-drive on the guest system, either with VirtualPC, VirtualBox, or VMware. At minimal the requirement for Virtual system should be just about enough available RAM, since we only need the CLI environment in *nix system, no GUI, X-Server, and Window-Manager. Then use some smart symlink tactics, to play with shared-folders given from host-system to the guest's *nix system. All the editing stuff is done in the host-system. There is also an option of http://www.colinux.org/ and http://x.cygwin.com/ --fireh--

Of course Tortoise would try to steer you away from another product. I use msysgit with no hassle. And if you need a GUI you could try gitk which is uses tcl/tk and is packaged in msysgit. -- Earnie -- http://progw.com -- http://www.for-my-kids.com
Let's be clear here: Tortoise Git <http://code.google.com/p/tortoisegit/> is just a wrapper on MSysGit <http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/> - Tortoise * depends* on MSysGit. And both are FOSS (GPL v2). The warning at the top of the Tortoise Git page is about using *incompatible* versions of MSysGit, and the correct version to use is listed there. From http://code.google.com/p/tortoisegit/ It is porting TortoiseSVN to TortoiseGit *The latest release 1.6.3.0*
*Please avoid use msysgit 1.7.2.3 with 1.5.3.0*
Please install msysgit 1.6.1 or above before install tortoisegit
That said, IMO it's best to start with the command line and understand the concepts behind git - echoing what many have said in this thread. Tortoise Git is a bit of a rehash of Tortoise SVN and tries to keep the interface the same, even though what's underneath is radically different. That can lead to some important misunderstandings. However, it's a decent enough product. -Randy On Tue, Feb 22, 2011 at 7:55 AM, Earnie Boyd <earnie@users.sourceforge.net>wrote:

Oh, I wasn't aware of that. I agree with the use of CLI but if you dislike them then it becomes difficult to the user who is used to clicking on the mouse to get the functionality they need.

Hi Nancy, Hi list, the biggest problem with using git is understanding its principles, which are quite different from cvs or svn or any other centralized SCM. The git parable (http://tom.preston-werner.com/2009/05/19/the-git-parable.html) explains step by step what git does and why. The msysgit git-shell is actually pretty good. It has all the features the bash-shell has in Linux/MacOS. E.g. command completion: if you want to switch branches you would type 'git checkout otherbranch', but if you just type 'git checkout othe<TAB>' it expands 'othe' to 'otherbranch' (if non ambiguous).

I've downloaded TortoiseGit, but am totally lost. I'm not finding a lot on GUI use on DO. Did I miss it? Or is there someone who can talk me through the common module dev functions (off-list)? Hi Nancy.. I've got your same issues with SSH, msysgit and TortoiseGit..but I finally come up with a solution: you can read it on my blog page here: http://thepanz.netsons.org/post/drupal-tortoisegit-and-putty-configuration
Hope it helps you :)
