'''NOTE:''' There is a [http://www.amahi.org/apps/gitweb one-click app] currently in ALPHA being tested.
[http://git-scm.com/ Git] is a free & open source, distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency. Every Git clone is a full-fledged repository with complete history and full revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network access or a central server. Branching and merging are fast and easy to do. Coupled with [http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/wiki/GitWeb%20repository%20browser Gitweb], provides a web interface for browsing your project.
This tutorial will show you how to install, create a repo, and browse that repo on your HDA.
