That's why I've swapped over to using TortoiseSVN - simple Right-Clicks to commit, checkout, etc.

Now that Github supports SVN, you can use tortoise with it

From the developer stand-point, git and svn are essentially the same. Where git shines, at least in an XBMC like usage models, is when a large "modding" community adopts a skin. Mmm, cherry picking.

But it's read only.

I assume this means get rid of the parent folder "skin.night" so when you get pull you'd get all the files no longer packaged in the "skin.night" folder.

I spent like 2hrs last night trying to upload files so that it wouldn't put them in a parent folder but couldn't get it right...



These are the steps I'm following:

mkdir nightaddon
cd nightaddon
git init
touch README
git add README
git commit -m 'first commit'
git remote add origin [email][email protected]:bartowski/nightaddon.git[/email]
git push origin master

Everything I tried so far still creates a parent folder. Any tips?
