TortoiseGit Usage
This page explains how you can use TortoiseGit under Microsoft Windows to contribute code to Drupal.org.
Other pages in this handbook explain how to install and configure TortoiseGit, and the differences between git and tradional versioning systems like SVN.
Requirements:
- You have requested and received git access.
- You have created a project.
- You have registered your public key with your drupal.org account.
- You have installed and configured TortoiseGit.
Now:
1. Create an empty directory where the repository of your project should live. (If you already have files for your project, you can add them here later.)
2. Right click the repository directory you have just created and choose "Git Create repository here..." as shown below:
TortoiseGit should reply by saying that an empty repository has been created. The result is that you now have a directory that functions as a local git repository.
3. Create your project files in the repository directory or copy existing project files there.
4. Once you have at least one file in the repository directory, commit it. You do this as follows.
- Right click the file(s).
