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?
