GitX seems to need an already-set-up repository, so although it seems to be the best GUI for Git, it is incomplete. I still need to create the project repository manually in the console.

Whats the fastest way to get started with GitX? The website of GitX assumes that I'm already a Git nerd. I'm not.

  • This question reduces to your previous one, since setting up the repository doesn't have anything to do with gitx. – Cascabel Nov 23 '10 at 00:15

GitX is not a complete command-line replacement. It doesn't create repositories or push/pull/fetch remotes, among other things. Use git to do those bits, and GitX for what it does best: browsing history and committing, among other things.

Also of note: Use the GitX -> Enable Terminal Usage menu so you can type gitx from the command line within a git repository.

I don't know what the best way to get started is. I just cracked it open and started pushing buttons and pulling levers.
