New page

== Introduction ==

[https://github.com/ GitHub] is an online hosting service which uses the Git distributed version control system (DVCS). The differences to a "traditional" centralized VCS (like CVS or Subversion) include:

* Users get a self-contained repository that they can commit changes to, even when being offline.
* Changes can be pushed back to the parent repository or even to other repositories.

Having used CVS since its inception (2001), Geeklog [http://www.geeklog.net/article.php/geeklog-goes-mercurial switched] to Mercurial after the release of Geeklog 1.5.1. This switch was preceded by a [[Mercurial Use in GSoC|successful experiment]] using Mercurial during the 2008 [[Google Summer of Code]]. After Geeklog 2.1.1 was released in December of 2015 a decision was made to [https://www.geeklog.net/article.php/geeklog-has-switched-to-github switch to using GitHub].

== Installing Git ==

There are a number of [https://git-scm.com/downloads GUI Clients] available for Git. The one we recommend for Windows and Mac operating systems is GitHub Desktop since it is the native client for GitHub. Download links and instructions for installing and using this software is found on the [https://desktop.github.com/ GitHub Desktop website]. There is no official GitHub Desktop for Linux. You will have use another Git GUI like [http://www.syntevo.com/smartgit/ SmartGitHg]. It runs on Windows and Linux and supports not only Git but SVN and Mercurial as well. For other Linux Git GUI Clients please visit the [https://git-scm.com/download/gui/linux Git website for suggestions].

== Setup ==

An organization called [https://github.com/Geeklog-Core Geeklog-Core] was setup on GitHub to house all repositories for the Geeklog CMS. This includes Geeklog itself, the required pear libraries, tools, artwork, plugin toolkit, and the test framework. The Geeklog's Git repository is available from this URL:

: https://github.com/Geeklog-Core/geeklog

This repository was converted from the Mercurial repository soon after the release of [https://www.geeklog.net/article.php/geeklog-2-1-1 Geeklog 2.1.1].

To create a copy of that repository, simply do

<pre>hg clone http://project.geeklog.net/cgi-bin/hgwebdir.cgi/geeklog/ geeklog</pre>

Where the last "geeklog" is just a directory name for the local copy (and can be changed at will). This will give you a fully working local repository that you can commit changes to.

'''Note:''' The same URL can also be used to browse the repository online. Simply visit that URL with your web browser.
