git

git is the second generation versioning control system we want to use for the PANDA PWA software.

Check if git is already installed on your computer by typing "git --version". If you get something like "git version 1.5.2.1", you're done. If not, ask your system administrator to install git. You'll find compiled packages and instructions to check out the source code on http://git-scm.com/download. If you are using SL5, a "yum install git" will do the job.

On http://git-scm.com/documentation you'll find some git tutorials. http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/everyday.html may be a good starting point.
