<title>Introduction to Git</title>
<para>
<application>Git</application> is a free and open source, distributed
version control system designed to handle everything from small to very
large projects with speed and efficiency. Every
<application>Git</application> clone is a full-fledged repository with
complete history and full revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on
network access or a central server. Branching and merging are fast and easy
to do. <application>Git</application> is used for version control of files,
much like tools such as <application>Mercurial</application>,
<application>Bazaar</application>, <xref linkend="subversion"/>,
<xref linkend="cvs"/>, <application>Perforce</application>, and
<application>Team Foundation Server</application>.

Install <application>Git</application> by running the following
commands:
</para>
<screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/lib &amp;&amp;
make</userinput></screen>
<para>
If you have installed <ulink
url="http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/">AsciiDoc</ulink> you can
create the html version of the man pages and other docs:
</para>
<screen><userinput>make html</userinput></screen>
<para>
If you have installed <ulink
url="http://www.methods.co.nz/asciidoc/">AsciiDoc</ulink> and
<xref linkend="xmlto"/> you can create the man pages:
</para>
<screen><userinput>make man</userinput></screen>
<para>
To check the results, issue: <command>make test</command>.
</para>
<para>
Now, as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>
user:

If you created the man pages, install them as the
<systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:

If you created the html docs, install them as the

<command>tar -xf ../git-manpages-&git-version;.tar.gz -C
/usr/share/man --no-same-owner</command>: This untars
<filename>git-manpages-&git-version;.tar.gz</filename>. The
<option>-C</option> option makes tar change directory to
<filename class="directory">/usr/share/man</filename> before
it starts to decompress the docs. The <option>--no-same-owner</option>
option stops tar from preserving the user and group details of the
files. This is useful as that user or group may not exist on your
system; this could (potentially) be a security risk.
</para>
<para>
<command>mv /usr/share/doc/git-&git-version; ...</command>: These
commands move some of the files into subfolders to make it easier to sort
through the docs and find what you're looking for.
