Setup "user" part of config. The commands modify the ~/.gitconfig file.

• $ git config --global branch.autosetupmerge auto
• $ git config --global user.name "Your Name Comes Here"
• $ git config --global user.email you@yourdomain.example.com

Create a git repo for newProject:

• $ cd newProject
• $ git init
• $ git add .
• $ git commit
• $ cd ..
• $ git clone --bare newProject newProject.git
• $ touch newProject.git/git-daemon-export-ok
• $ rsync -avz newProject.git central-repo:/home/repo/git/
• $ cd "newProject parent directory"
• $ git clone ssh://central-repo/home/repo/git/newProject.git

Use a newProject git repo:

• $ git clone ssh://central-repo/home/repo/git/newProject.git
• keep updated (sort of like cvs up)
• $ cd newProject
• $ git pull

Work on newProject:

• $ cd newProject
• $ git status
• $ git diff
• $ git-commit -a
• $ git-push

For color diff, I set the following in ~/.gitconfig

        [color]
            diff = auto
        [core]
            pager =
   

Run below for central svn behavior

• $ git config --global branch.autosetupmerge auto
• $ git checkout --track -b master origin/master
