This page is not meant to be a comprehensive guide for using git. Git is a feature loaded version control system which at times can be a bit of a hurdle to learn. The following site However, when used in its simplest form it is very similar to most all other version control systems, including CVS. Below are many of the basic CVS commands used by !FreeSurfer developers the git equivalent of that command. The [[https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/what-is-git|Atlassian]] and [[https://git-scm.com/doc|git-scm]] are great resources for those who want to dig deeper and and learn more about git and its features.


== Initial Git Setup ==

When we start out using git we want to set a few of our configuration settings. We only need to do this one time:
{{{
$> cd ~
$> git config --global user.name "Zeke Kaufman"
$> git config --global user.email zkaufman@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu
}}}
For additional examples of git specifics setting (e.g. default editor, color settings), see the following page: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Customizing-Git-Git-Configuration

== Checkout out the main branch ==
When working with CVS, we would checkout out the !FreeSurfer repository using the '''{{{cvs checkout dev}}}''' command. In git we 'clone' repositories. This gives us a local version of the repository which we can work with:
{{{
$> git clone /space/freesurfer/repo/freesurfer
}}}

Checkout out the main branch

When working with CVS, we would checkout out the FreeSurfer repository using the cvs checkout dev command. In git we 'clone' repositories. This gives us a local version of the repository which we can work with:

$> git clone /space/freesurfer/repo/freesurfer

Checkout the stable branch:

$> git clone /space/freesurfer/repo/freesurfer
$> cd freesurfer
$> git checkout stable6

or,

$> git clone -b stable6 /space/freesurfer/repo/freesurfer <optional_directory_name>

Daily Workflow

Commit a modified source code file:

cvs

cvs commit -m "Added new capabilities." <file_name>

git

git commit -m "Added new capabilities." <file_name>

git push

Modify and commit a data file:

cvs

cvs commit <file_name>

git

git annex unlock <file_name>

git annex add <file_name>

git commit <file_name>

git push

git annex copy --to origin <file_name>

Add a data file:

cvs

cvs add <file_name>

cvs commit <file_name>

git

git annex add <file_name>

git commit <file_name>

git push

git annex copy --to origin <file_name>

Remove data file:

cvs

rm <file_name>

cvs rm <file_name>

cvs commit -m "Removing <file_name>" <file_name>

git

git rm <file_name>

git commit -m "Removing <file_name>" <file_name>

Undo 1 commit (before push):

git

git reset --soft HEAD~1

Undo 2 commits:
