[Axiom-developer] GIT

[root]

man, this git thing is blindingly fast. 
as it says in the docs sometimes you don't think anything happened.
i put up a git version of all of the current changes since --patch-50




you can get an axiom copy with:

  git clone address@hidden:/home/silver/silver
  password: (send email to address@hidden and i'll tell you)

and now you have your own local copy.




to get the latest set of host changes at any time:

  cd silver
  git pull





you can edit any file (e.g. src/interp/setq.lisp.pamphlet) and then say

  git-update-index src/interp/setq.lisp.pamphlet
  git commit -m"why you changed it"

this will remember the change on your local copy.






to set up your local copy so that you can push changes back 
you need a one-time change to add a line to .git/remotes/origin like this:

  echo 'Push: master' >>.git/remotes/origin

and then do:

  git push origin

it uses much less space.
the arch version of axiom checks out to 304M
the git  version of axiom checks out to 207M

simple, fast, small, distributed, reliable.
i have to say i'm impressed.
