General instructions on using git can be found on fd.o's [[Git pages|http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Infrastructure/git]]. 

For a quick getting started guide, there is the [[Everyday Git With 20 Commands Or So|http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/everyday.html]] guide from the Git homepage.    For more in depth git documentation, see the resources on [[the Git community documentation page|http://git-scm.com/documentation]]. 

A quick [[guide|http://www.x.org/wiki/ModularDevelopersGuide#head-c108c1fd0be50c522e5dd12cf62814cd8d2f7234]] on how to get the complete xorg modular tree. 


## Branches

Instead of using a kernel-style personal repository model for long-lived branches, we favour actually using branches (e.g. mpx, input-hotplug, pci-rework, randr-1.2) within the repository.  Ideally, these should not be created on a whim, as they will stick around forever once pushed.
