Adapt paths and focus on ports

This page should contain information about how to work with git, specifically from the point of view of someone familiar with Subversion.

To start:

svn checkout https://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/trunk/dports

becomes

git clone git@github.com:macports/ports.git

When you clone you will get the entire history of the ports tree, with the latest version being checked out in the filesystem. After you make a change, you can run git status and get something like this.

On branch master
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.
Changes not staged for commit:
  (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
  (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)

	modified:   aqua/iTerm2/Portfile

no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

What this tells me, is that I've changed a Portfile, but not done anything. After that, you can add the files that you want to add to your commit using git add aqua/iTerm2/Portfile. Now, git status will look like:

On branch master
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.
Changes to be committed:
  (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)

	modified:   aqua/iTerm2/Portfile

Then run git commit and everything is set. On your machine. To push to github you then have to run git push.
