[maemo-developers] Git on Maemo

[From: gary liquid]

i do it via ssh console as part of my n900 reinstallation notes
i'm not sure why you would use the app manager since git is a console app ;)

#####################################################################
git

add the repositories:   i use
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager.list  (should this be
somewhere else?)

deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras diablo free non-free
deb http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel diablo free non-free

then

apt-get update
apt-get install git-core


then
remove the repositories again
