Here are some quick steps to setup a project under git - Say, you have a project called project at /path/to/project
git add f1
1. Initialize the git repository
cd /path/to/project
git init
This will create a directory called .git at /path/to/project
2. git add file1 file2 ...
Add the files that you'd like to be tracked
3. git commit -m "comments for commit"
This will "commit the changes
After that, you can make changes to the file and then do a "git diff" to see the changes
Unlike other repositories, you need to do "git add" each time
Say, you make changes to file - f1 - to put the changes into the repository, you need to do
git add f1
git commit -m "comment"
