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.

Subject: [support] Using Git

I have downloaded msysgit.

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.
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.
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?
