This guide for my own reference please don’t rely on it, for a better introduction check out Git Reference website.

Basic concept and terminologies, Git have 3 logical places:

• Working Area: normal directory where you edit your project.
• Staging Area: Think of the staging as your project state before you start your coding session, after each coding session you add your changes to staging area using git add filename or git add .
• Snapshot Area: After multiple coding sessions you would finish a logical change, e.g. adding commenting system in web site, next you need to store a snapshot of your project after these changes, you would do that with git commit

Setting the environment:

FLOSS weekly (FLOSS = Free Libre Open Source Software) interview with Linus Torvalds, straight questions and honest and simple answers, I love it.

PuTTY Tray is an improved version of PuTTY. It features some cosmetic changes, and a number of addons to make it more useful and much more fun to use.

The features that I really like:

• Minimizing to the system tray
• Portability: optionally stores session configuration in files (for example: on a USB drive) like portaPuTTY
• Reconnects when your PC wakes up from stand-by / Attempts to reconnect when the connection fails
