Tuesday, December 6, 2011 5:06:51 AM
step 1. init the local repository
#git init
step 2. configure user name and user mail address
#git config --add user.name "ethaxx.xxhao"
#git config --add user.email "ethaxx.xxrnel@gmail.com"
if you wanna set global configuration, issue command as following:
#git config --global user.name "ethaxx.xxhao"
#git config --global user.email "ethaxx.xxrnel@gmail.com"
view current git configuration
#git config -l
#git init
step 2. configure user name and user mail address
#git config --add user.name "ethaxx.xxhao"
#git config --add user.email "ethaxx.xxrnel@gmail.com"
if you wanna set global configuration, issue command as following:
#git config --global user.name "ethaxx.xxhao"
#git config --global user.email "ethaxx.xxrnel@gmail.com"
view current git configuration
#git config -l
step 3. configure the proxy if needed
#git config --add http.proxy "proxy.company.com:1080"
#export http_proxy "proxy.company.com:1080"
step 4. clone the sour code tree from git.kernel.org
#git clone http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git
step 5. view tags
#git tag
v3.1-rc8
v3.1-rc9
v3.1.1
v3.1.2
v3.1.3
v3.1.4
v3.2-rc1
step 6. checkout source code for v3.1.4
#git checkout v3.1.4
step 7. create your own branch
#git branch myv3.1.4
Combination of 6&7
#git checkout -b myv3.1.4 v2.6.14
step 8. make your own modification to files
#vi Makefile
step 9. commit your modification
#git commit -a
step 10. show your patch /without sign-off
#git show
step 11. create the patches as a batch with sign-off mark
#git format-patch -o /tmp/ --signoff master..myv3.1.4
Then you could find the patches under the directory /tmp ,the content as following:
