Well, you can still use Git to manage your local SVN working copy and be almost happy again (Either way, you won't be 100% happy unless the repository is a git one.)

	75	+=== GitX git GUI ===
76	76
77		-SourceTree is a free Git/Mercurial GUI for OS X. A key feature is that it can use git-svn to "Clone" a SVN repository into a standard Git repository with your full SVN commit history and maintains a link back to the SVN repository. This allows you to easily use Git locally for development but still do your final commits to SVN.
	77	+GitX is an awesome FREE history viewer made for OS X. It is a better way to visualize your branch and commit history of your git repository. However, power users (aka "cool kids") will probably only use it for history viewing while they continue to use the terminal command line for checkouts, branching, staging, rebasing and committing.

82		-=== GitX (L) git GUI ===
83		-
84		-While most (if not all) Git GUI apps will never be able to emulate all the intricate functionality of Git, one advantage of a GUI app is more convenient and faster browsing/visualization of history and inter-relationships of branches. While development on the original open source GitX.app has waned, this fork of the original has continued to mature into a nice Git client, and is useful for common every day Git operations. However, power users (aka "cool kids") will probably only use it for history viewing while they continue to use the terminal command line for checkouts, branching, staging, rebasing and committing.

97	97	I use Tower (bought it), but only for committing and fixing merge conflicts. I think Tower misses quite a bit of the flagship feature of GIT: branches. You can't see a branch tree graphically, like you can with gitX or even the command line (git log -graph -color, IIRC). But it's cool for committing. For everything else I use command line.

100		-=== Gitolite - A Git Repository Server ===
101		-
102		-Need a way to host a few dozen or hundred repositories with dead simple administration? Look no further than the free and open-source [[gitolite>>http://sitaramc.github.com/gitolite/]]. You just need a single dedicated user account on some unix based OS. Once installed and configured, you can perform administration tasks such as adding users, adding repositories and setting fine-grained user access privileges all from your own desktop.

104		-The best place to start is probably the ProGit chapter on gitolite, which is maintained by the author of gitolite, and is right here:

107		-Some tips/gotchas to keep in mind when setting up gitolite
108		-
109		-* Make sure you give the gitolite user ownership of the admin public ssh key after copying the key over
110		-* Rename your public keyname to username.pub, where username is the name you want to use to identify yourself when configuring gitolite access control to repositories.
111		-* During setup, gitolite creates the file /.ssh/authorized//keys in the gitolite user account. Ensure it has permissions of 600. If not change it//
112		-* If other system users such as apache, chiliproject or redmine need [[read access to the gitolite repositories to allow integration>>http://www.giocc.com/public-repositories-in-gitolite-with-umasks.html]], then you probably want to change the $REPO//MASK configuration value from 0077 to 0027 in the [[gitolite configuration file>>http://sitaramc.github.com/gitolite/rc.html]]//

184		-=== Stash to Clean and Checkout from Stash to Work ===
185		-
186		-Say that you have several different things going on in your project at any one time. How can you seperate them to check something in? You know about the "git stash" command, which cleans up your project. But what if you want part of the dirtiness, but not all of it?
187		-
188		-Suppose you have file1.java, file2.java, file3.java, and file4.java. You have a single feature implemented in file1.java and file3.java and those edits stand on their own. If you are going to check in just file1.java and file3.java, you should test them on their own, without your other changes. First, do a "git stash". A "git status" will show you have no staged changes. Now do:
189		-
190		-{{code}}
191		-
192		-git checkout stash@{0} -- file1.java
193		-git checkout stash@{0} -- file3.java
194		-
195		-{{/code}}
196		-
197		-Now you have your two files and not the others and you can build and test them in a clear project before you check them in
198		-One odd thing I noticed is this. The "git diff" you were doing before the stash will show your changes. Now you have to do "git diff HEAD". Not completely sure why, but there it is.
