I’m trying to understand how to use GIT with Xcode 4.2.

I haven’t been using GIT actively, but while I was walking through a couple of git operations mentioned in this link it appears that I have a single repository with many projects in it and a recent project in a repository all by itself.

I want to carefully take the project I am currently working on and put it into its own repository so I can safely leverage some of the branching capabilities.

I’m hesitant to begin until I have a better understanding of what’s going on. I’d like to know how much is handled within Xcode and what I have to do at the command line.

    @manojids comment to learn a source control system (like git) outside of a specific editors integration is a good point. Try to understand the source control system. The integration is a convenience, not a crutch.

    Outside of that advice, apple has some docs outlining specifics of how XCode works with git. Here’s the link:

    http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/ToolsLanguages/Conceptual/Xcode4UserGuide/SCM/SCM.html

    A good online resource is the pro git book available here:
