Ok. So I'm on Git now. As I'm not on a programming project whatsoever, my Git is basically just to store (or maybe sync) my dotfiles. Also will be used for embedding any of the dotfiles according to my blog post.
As I'm using it on my company's network, which has a very restrictive firewall and I'm online through a proxy, this is what I did to get my Git working. Take note that I'm using GitHub and most of the references are contained there.
1) Install Git.
I installed the Git package.
2) Set up proxy environment for Git.
In xterm, I set the http proxy value. Take note that I have set up my http_proxy env in ~/.profile:
# git config --global http.proxy $http_proxy
3) Set Git to ignore SSL verification.
I have to set this option, you might not need to touch this. In my ~/.profile, I add the following:
export GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=true
4) Follow Github's guide for my first git. Enjoy.
The GitHub's website is very easy to follow. At no time I have successfully push my first commit to it. I will post more bout this after I commit my dotfiles. Later.
