i've collected a plethora of things related to git on deli (http://del.icio.us/earl/git); have a look there for tutorials and technical details.

commonly used commands

below is a list of git commands organised into 4 major groups. the comments are more often than not straight from git's docs, sometimes amended to more directly point to the command's main purpose (read: what i mainly use it for).

init create an empty git repository
clone clone a repository into a new directory
pull fetch from and merge with another repository

diff HEAD show changes between working tree and local repos
commit record changes from index to local repos
checkout <path> restore file in working tree to state in index/local repos

git branch in bash prompt

__git_ps1 is a helper script to display the current git branch in your bash prompt. simply add $(__git_ps1) to your PS1 bash prompt. the script takes a printf format string as optional argument (defaults to " (%s)").

publishing a local repository onto a remote server via ssh
rsync -avz -e ssh .git/ $USER@$HOST:$REPOPATH
git remote add origin ssh://$USER@$HOST$REPOPATH
git config branch.master.remote origin
