Git
Creating a new Project
$ tar xzf project.tar.gz $ cd project $ git init
Git will reply
Initialized empty Git repository in .git/
You've now initialized the working directory--you may notice a new directory created, named ".git".
Next, tell git to take a snapshot of the contents of all files under the current directory (note the .), with git-add:
$ git add .
This snapshot is now stored in a temporary staging area which git calls the "index". You can permanently store the contents of the index in the repository with git-commit:
$ git commit
Importing from CVS
$ git cvsimport -v -d <cvsroot> -C <destination> <module>
