How to use GIT (Armadeus integrators)

• Before first commit define your global personnal data:

$ git config --global user.name "James Bond"

• Do your changes and commit to your local repository (here add fileorpath):

$ git add fileorpath
$ git commit -m 'Explain what I changed'
or 
$ git commit -a -m 'Explain what I changed'        (if you have local modifications (=not versioned files) and wants GIT to ignore them)

• Update your repository to the latest version on SF:

$ git pull

• If git pull fails with an error: "Untracked working tree file '{SOMEFILE}'"

$ rm -rf {SOMEFILE}
$ git pull

• If you have modified some armadeus files and want to revert your changes"

$ rm -rf buildroot/package
$ rm -rf buildroot/target
$ rm -rf buildroot/toolchain
$ git checkout -f
$ make apf9328_defconfig or make apf27_defconfig
