Get git
Here is an example how to download and install git. Find out your distribution and proceed accordingly:
SLES 11
Get the SLE SDK media, add it as repository, install git using
yast -i git
SLES 10
This example downloads version 1.7.6 of git and must be executed as root user under a default installation of SLES 10:
- Download git
wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-1.7.6.tar.gz
- if this does not work, you may have to set your proxy and redo it like this
export http_proxy=proxy.company.com:8080 wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-1.7.6.tar.gz
- unpack it
tar xvzf git-1.7.6.tar.gz
- make sure you have all needed dependencies like this:
yast -i zlib-devel python-devel
- build it
cd git-1.7.6/ ./configure && make -j8 && make install
- test it by calling
# git version git version 1.7.6
How to ...
... get a past version

git vs svn translation
| svn | git | purpose |
|---|---|---|
| svn co | git clone | get the software |
| svn co branch | git checkout branch | get a special branch of a software. Remark: This downloads additional code in the case of SVN, but not in the case of GIT. |
| svn up | git pull | update to the latest version |
| svn revert | git checkout . | revert the changes you have done |
| svn co -r commit | git reset commit | get the code as it was at a certain commit. Remark: This downloads additional code in the case of SVN, but not in the case of GIT. |
