copied!<p><strong>Similarities:</strong></p> <p>Files that should be part of the repository must be added in order to being tracked. Both tools use the <code>add</code> command to accomplish this. Adding files means to prepare a commit.</p> <p><strong>Differences:</strong></p> <p>Git allows some further kind of detail when adding files. You can decide to add a whole file or distinct lines of code. Adding files to the <em>index</em> or <em>stage</em> allows more flexibility. SVN automatically commits all changes on a file that has already been added to the repository. Git leaves the decision of what changes to associate with each commit operation to the user. In other words: the next <em>commit</em> in Git only contains those changes (lines or files) that have been staged, regardless of the tracking status of the files. SVN automatically includes all changes on tracked files.</p> <p><strong>Additional information:</strong></p> <p>Try to read some posts describing Git workflows such as the one from <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20120917134032/http://osteele.com/archives/2008/05/my-git-workflow" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Oliver Steele</a>. But be aware that there is <strong>not one</strong> way to use Git - there are many. If you want, you can use Git as if you were working with SVN.<br> Do not expect to understand the philosophy of Git in a short period of time. It took me a year to get into it and I still learn new ways to use it. I think it is even harder if you grew up with SVN mindset. There are tons of materials out there: articles, videos, ... - take your time and try some of them. Here is a selection from the list I collected.</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://gitimmersion.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Git Immersion</a></li> <li><a href="http://think-like-a-git.net/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Think Like (a) Git</a></li> <li><a href="http://tom.preston-werner.com/2009/05/19/the-git-parable.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">The Git Parable</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.vogella.com/articles/Git/article.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Git Tutorial by Lars Vogel</a></li> <li><a href="https://gist.github.com/423320" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Links and background information collected by tekkub</a></li> </ul>
