== Using git with MythTV ==

Once this is put onto MythTV servers, these details will change.

For now, we will use the svn->git mirror:

{{{
git clone git://git.jannau.net/mythtv.complete/
}}}

For committing, use SVN (which you will have to checkout separately)

=== configuring git ===

{{{
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email you@yourdomain.example.com
}}}

Please use your real name and a real email address.  This will be attached to each commit you make, and is needed for legality reasons (i.e. to clearly denote the contributors, which can be a life-saver if we have licensing issues later)

=== git for svn users ===
