I found a patch, which solves a issue, I run into.
This Patch is hosted on a GIT repository
On Windows I tried to check out the patches by using MsGit, TortoiseGit
git fetch git://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/tycho/org.eclipse.tycho refs/changes/63/8163/2 && git checkout FETCH_HEAD
but Git complained about missing repository.
Questions:
- is there a tutorial about checking out those Eclipse repositories?
- how would I apply this Eclipe patch, when I checked it out?
You need to clone the repository first. Start with git clone url_ to_repository
You can find more information here : http://git-scm.com/documentation
I recommend to read this first before you use git with your existing code.
Here is also a good starting point : http://gitref.org/creating/
