No, that ist for detection of file corruption on disk. Or even file
corruption in general.

Yeah. This is the greatest advantage of Git: You have the complete
repository at your own computer in this one single hidden dir. If you
are working with your code, and want to try out just one simple thing,
you create a new branch:

git branch thisnewbutton

And switch into that branch:

git checkout thisnewbutton
(I write "git co thi<TAB>)

Now start coding and committing by and by. After finished last commit,
switch to branch master:

git checkout master

And do a merge:

git merge thisnewbutton

And you are done.

If you want to send your code to the central main repository you do a
"git push" and that's it.

On my main project lying around on the server I have a master and a
current development branch.

But on my machines where I work on both of these branches I have except
that a couple of branches just for testing and trying out some things.
If something works well, I merge it usually into the development branch
and push that onto the main repo.

If I have to do a hotfix in master + development, i usually fix it in
development and cherry-pick that hotfix into master, even if there are
lots of commits in between.

Another very cool advantage of Git is the superfast git grep. It greps
through the whole project in milliseconds and gives you every occurance
of a string in every file.

There are lots of different interfaces to Git. I like tig best and use
it all the time. It's fast, easy, usable everyvere. And I use gitweb on
the server to have a look at it in the browser.

3 or 5 hours working with Git (understanding staging) and you never want
to go back to SVN any more.


Alles Gute
