- Use the context menu to start the clone:
- If this is the first time you run Git, it will ask you to complete the profile setup:
- The only things you need to complete are the User name and email address
- These values will be embedded in any commits you make
- Commits are hashed and can't be changed later, so it is imperative that you set appropriate long-term values
- A long-term personal email address is usually recommended
- You can change these values later, but changing them will not change any commits that you have already contributed to a repository
- The files will be in C:\DEV\resiprocate after the clone:
- Click "Clone" to proceed:
- Wait a couple of minutes, it is downloading the full history of every file in every branch:
- It is not finished and ready to use:
- Use the context menu to access Git functions:
- Notice how the browser can easily show all activity on a file on all branches in chronological order?
- Browsing the file in other branches is lightning fast because everything is cached locally by the "Clone" operation
