I have just set up GIT source control inside Visual Studio which loads a solution in a folder linked to my GIT repository on BitBucket.

Im still getting my head around this and wondered if anyone could shine some light on a few questions:

  • When I change a file in VS2010 it appears as you would expect in the “GIT Pending changes” window. When I click “Commit” on here with a comment, am I right in thinking that these changes will be committed to my local version of the repository until I use “Push”.

  • If this is the case, can I then UNDO commits before I run PUSH? Seems silly not to run push automatically otherwise.

  • When I undo a files change “Undo pending change for file”, it still remains in the list as “Modified” despite being identical to the server version in a compare. WIll it still overwrite it with the same file??! Or is this just a bug in VS2010 plugin?

Thanks for anybody that could help, I really want to try to wrap my head around GIT for my next projects’ SCM!

    You are correct, git commit simply commits changes to your local repository, while git push sends changes to a remote repository. You’re free to use git to track changes in a local directory without ever linking it to a remote repository. This is one reason why I like git and other distribution version control systems.

    You can certainly undo commits in your local repository before pushing it to a remote repository. This chapter of the git book discusses this topic in more detail.
