[root@GOLDMASTER ~]# git config --global user.name "myName"
[root@GOLDMASTER ~]# git config --global user.email "myName@myDomain.com"

Make a directory where you want your repository
[root@GOLDMASTER ~]# mkdir /opt/repository
[root@GOLDMASTER ~]# cd /opt/repository/
[root@GOLDMASTER repository]# git config --global color.ui auto

Make your repositry
[root@GOLDMASTER repository]# mkdir project
[root@GOLDMASTER repository]# cd project/

Initialize the repository
[root@GOLDMASTER project]# git init

[root@GOLDMASTER project]# mkdir docs
[root@GOLDMASTER project]# cd docs/
[root@GOLDMASTER docs]# vim testdoc.txt
[root@GOLDMASTER docs]# cd ..
[root@GOLDMASTER project]# ls

Each time you make a change you want to track, you need to commit it.
In Git committing a change and sharing that change are two different processes...which is not a case in CVS.

Clone the Project Repository


[root@GOLDMASTER repository]# ls
project
[root@GOLDMASTER repository]# git clone project/ /var/local/project
Initialized empty Git repository in /var/local/project/.git/
[root@GOLDMASTER repository]#
