Version 1.0.0

For Installation Instructions and Explanation of the following 
notes... Read the git Quick Start Guide: http://help.github.com./ 

For more in-depth reserch of git tool go to http://progit.org/ 

* Get a local copy of the project. 
	* git clone [url] 
		Examples: $ git clone [email protected]:jwest80:Learn-git.git 
		$ git clone [email protected]:auditconf/auditconfirmations.git 
	* 

* Basic Snapshotting 
	* git add - Start tracking new file or changes to a file 
		(Adds file to Staging area) 
		* -A : Adds all files being tracked to staging area. 
	* git status - To be commited and New or Modified Files 
		not in staging area. 
	* git diff - Shows differences between files 
		(Opens in vi, type :q to quit) 
	* git commit - Records a snapshot of staging area 
		Example: $git commit -m 'I made some changes' 
		(leaving off the -m will open vim for you to add comments) 
	* reset Head - "unstages" a file or reverts the file to 
		what it was before we started modifying things. 
	* rm - will remove the file from the staging area entirely and 
		from your disk (effectivly deleting it). You can keep it on 
		the disk by using rm --cached. 
	*
	
* Branching and Merging 
	* git branch - Used to List (default), Create, Remove, and 
		Switch Branch Context. 
		* [branchname] : Create a new Branch from last Commit. This 
			is like a bookmark of a snapshot that we can return to 
			at any point. 
		* -d [branchname] : Delete a branch. 
	* git checkout [branchname] - Open/Switch to branch. 
		* -b : Creates a new branch and opens it. 
	* git merge - Merge a branch context into your current branch. For
		more info on merge conflicts go to http://gitref.org/branching/ 
	*
	
* Logs and Tags
	* git log - Shows the commit history or a branch.
		(Opens in vi, type :q to quit)
		* --oneline : Shows a compact version.
		* --graph : Creates a topology graph (can be used with oneline)
		* --decorate : Shows tags and other info (pretty colors)
	* git tag -a [message] - Tags a point in history as important.
		(Always use the -a when tagging to get who,when,why)
		* You can add tag to old commit using the commit SHA
			Example: $ git tag -a v0.1 [SHA]
	*
	
* Sharing and Updating Projects 
	* git remote - Used to List (default), Add, Remove, Fetch, Pull, 
		and Push Remote Repositories. 
		* -v : Show URLs in List 
		* add [alias] [url] : Adds a remote project alias 
		* rm [alias] : Removes a remote project alias 
	* git fetch [alias] - Update from a remote repository 
	* git pull [alias] - Does a "get fetch" followed by a 
		"get merge" (This is the lazy (wo)man's way, and could cause 
		problems) 
	* git push [alias] [branch] - push branches to a remote repository 
	*
	
* Other Tips 
	* Add an alias (Does not seem to working with Windows Version) 
		$ config --global alias.unstage "reset HEAD" 
		(Now you can unstage like this git unstage --[file] instead o
		f git reset HEAD --[file])
	* Turn Coloring On 
		$ git config --global color.ui true 
	*
