Git documentation

Last updated March 18, 2012.

Welcome to the Git documentation! Git is the version control system Drupal.org developers use to share code with one another.

Within this section of the site, you will find information on Drupal.org's use of Git, how to download, install, and configure Git, and how to contribute your own code to Drupal.org.

Here's a list of quick links to get you started, depending on your needs.

Page Title

Minor note, but this page title is a little misleading. Seeing "Git Documentation" in search results, it reads like this page contains official general-purpose documentation for Git itself. Perhaps something like "Drupal.org Git Documentation" or "Git for Drupal.org Documentation" would be clearer.
