Tutorial on GIT with Xcode

Question

I'm trying to understand how to use GIT with Xcode 4.2.

I haven't been using GIT actively, but while I was walking through a couple of git operations mentioned in this link it appears that I have a single repository with many projects in it and a recent project in a repository all by itself.

I want to carefully take the project I am currently working on and put it into its own repository so I can safely leverage some of the branching capabilities.

I'm hesitant to begin until I have a better understanding of what's going on. I'd like to know how much is handled within Xcode and what I have to do at the command line.

Do yourself a favour and learn how to use Git independently and use the command line and just ignore XCode's integration. — manojlds

echo'ing what mahojids said - learn it from the command line. It will pay you back. Personally, I went through progit.org book. First few chapters get you going. After that, all guis make sense. — bryanmac

Thanks, Bryan. I have been looking for something like this Pro Git Book. It's a little long, but it looks like and easy read, based on my reading the article by Scott Chacon that you linked to. — Jim

@manojids comment to learn a source control system (like git) outside of a specific editors integration is a good point. Try to understand the source control system. The integration is a convenience, not a crutch.

Outside of that advice, apple has some docs outlining specifics of how XCode works with git. Here's the link:

http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/ToolsLanguages/Conceptual/Xcode4UserGuide/SCM/SCM.html

A good online resource is the pro git book available here:

If you want to learn and understand Git and its concepts in detail then this book would be best for you here is the link.

Or you can have a drill on it practically if you follow this tutorial.

I hope you will get help.
