Useful Git Links
This is a post I will be adding to over time all about links I have found useful when learning how to best use Git.
How To Create And Apply A Patch - Really good article, the only thing I would clarify is that the am command can only be used once you have set up mailing (something I have yet to do).
Creating A New Branch On Your Remote Repository - Such a simple task but one I couldn't easily find described somewhere for the layman.
Git By Example - This has all the basic git commands that anyone starting out with Git will want to familiarise themselves with complete with examples.
Branching and Merging - An interesting document on branching and merging within Git.
Thanks to @psynnott for contributing some links.
Editing Git Repository Descriptions
It was annoying me that when viewing my repositories online the descriptions for them all were the generic 'Unnamed repository; edit this file 'description' to name the repository.'
It doesn't really tell you in any tutorial what you need to do when setting up a repository to get a description (or at least any I have followed) but the fix is very simple.
In the your git repository you should see a text file named description.
Edit it with your text editor of choice and whatever you have as the contents will be your repository description.
vi gitRepository.git/description
Done!
