Git Version Control

This tutorial is an introduction to installing and using Git on a PC running Windows 7. I set up a XAMPP server using XAMPP 1.6.8. I have not installed Putty. I also have not installed TortoiseSVN or TortoiseGIT. The last time I tried to install Git for Windows with TortoiseGIT, things got all mixed up and I could not connect to my repository on github.com. There was a problem with the SSH keys and I kept getting an authentication error. 

My plan is to create a free public Git repository on GitHub.com and upload my Drupal 7 site to it. It will be a single user blog with photo gallery that is freely available for download.

I really enjoyed Shawn's presentation on Git Going with Git on Feb. 10th at the Surrey Drupal Users Group. We a record breaking turnout at 27 attendees with many coming all the way from downtown Vancouver.
