no check-in for git?


[Q] no check-in for git?

DVCS : distributed version control system

"""...
There really isn't a 'Check in Check out' process in Git. Those references are for Centralized VCS not Distributed.

... to physically 'see changes' on the remote side after a commit ... You need a hook to broadcast to the remote working directory to pull from the updated repo ...

... Git is an extremely powerful and robust DVCS ... However, you need to fully understand how it works to effectively use it.

//===
Initially, nothing on local machine:
$ git clone git@github.com: username/reponame.git

if a copy already exists [chk .git subfolder],
no need to clone again, just pull:
$ git pull origin master


//=== ??? to avoid cluttering the history with useless merges
$ git pull --rebase
or
$ git merge branchname --no-ff
