here is link to a video which was done later by Randal Schwartz It goes into more detail on what git does and git commands. I found it more useful as its about what git does and how to do it

This is a sad day indeed for me. After being in the mangos community for well over a year i'm having to say farewell. I unfortunatly can't come to terms with GIT .. i've tried many times to use GIT and its definatly not user friendly like SVN. I do understand however that GIT is a more powerfull system where you can pull in other patches from in the system and hence make your own build of the project and hence no revision numbers as that would be unsustainable.. you'd have to have version numbers gor every file you grabbed. I'd expect that the reason that mangos chose this road is to allow developers of patches the ability to manage them themselves but i could be wrong (eg: arena/battle patch) so that people who want to apply them can and those who don't want it don't have to apply it This to me sounds very messy .. again I appologise if i'm wrong and got the wrong end of the stick I like many others with the downtime of mangos have gone over to Trinity which has stuck with the SVN and applied some loong awaited patches. I shall miss a lot of people here as thats what makes/breaks a community. so so long.. farewell.. and thanks for all the fish (from Hitch hikers guide to the galaxy)
