 Using //git//, it's relatively simple and easy to set up a shared revision control system for a group using a folder which has read and write permissions for everyone who is a member of this group. At the Physics department, we have the //grouphome// folder which can be used for exactly this purpose.
-First of all, open a terminal and open an SSH connection to //login.physik.fu-berlin.de//. Then change into your group's grouphome directory using the //cd// command, e.g. //cd /net/grouphome/ag-test//. Then issue the command //git init --bare myrepo.git// to create a git repository with the name //myrepo//:

+To commit the changes, type //git commit -m "Commit Message"// where "Commit Message" is an arbitrary text used to describe this particular commit. You may also edit the commit message in your editor of choice (set by the environment variable $EDITOR) by just typing //git commit//.
+**Note**: Unlike //cvs// or //svn//, anything that has been committed is not automatically pushed to the remote repository on the server (in this case, the repository in the grouphome folder). To push the changes to the remote repository, see the following step.
