git checkout commit-id

example:

git checkout 639a811b8182e39ff1f0b38157d740b7329a2489

and then to create a new branch for that commit, do git checkout -b branchname

is there a way to copy and paste this ? 40 charaters or so to type... i an look at this page

http://github.com/mangos/mangos/tree/87de4189e1ea39a967c2193eff7567f15bd28cd5

now that is revesion for 10/26/08 Lest last one for that day

now i would type in

git checkout 9f890e8df890942e64a1902c99806bbf8332f3b9 <--tree

if im just making a typing mistake ill know, but not knowing if im even doing it right is worst

am i even close to doing it right ? for getting core for that date ?

puls 3rd time trying... i get fatal: refrence is not a tree

plus i read some where you only need to type in the first 5 charaters ? is this right ?

in one word... "HELPPPPPPPPPPPP" lol ok i need a git guy here i know how to get the lastet git of mangos... but i can not figure out. how to get to a prevsion version i want... i want the core for 10/26/08 im not sure but its something to do with the tree numbers ? http://github.com/mangos/mangos/commits/master looking at that page if i find out where i enter the info if i that revesion would it be the tree # ? 9f890e8df890942e64a1902c99806bbf8332f3b9

I am a noob at git. I'm trying to learn, So if anyone can help. i would be thankfull

to get latest version i start up git git go to clone existing repository

url - git://github.com/mangos/mangos.git

directory (like d:\\temp

Lest thats how i get the latest files... and im not sure im even doing that right....willing to learn if some one would like to show me the the basics...

First I tought GIT will complicate things for me, then I downloaded GIT, installed it and followed the instructions posted on MaNGOS forums. I was back in 10 minutes. So... it's not hard at all. It's just good old command line

took me to days to do mine... I think its easy. but im thinknig its hard. just making it hard on my self...

But i wonder how i would go back to a earlyer date...

Think someone needs a chill pill

I can live with git, not happy with it,but can deal with it. main thing im worry about there is no revsion number... like if i compile a core.. then a week later what to complie another core, and then update my DB, add the sql updates.. how will i know where i left off at ? If i writ a note and lost it.. then im in a mess.

i like this old saying... if it works, why mess with it.. meaning svn working grate for me. i could read what was update what was fixed and so on... now its like working in the dark, Hope MaNGOS lives thought this mess.
