GIT is used to maintain the Linux source code and several other OS
projects. You can find a simple tutorial here:

Just install the git-core package and then you need __only__ these
commands to get a patch:

   $ git clone git://git.enneenne.com/linuxpps
   $ cd linuxpps
   $ git diff linux-vanilla master > my_patch

First command downloads a copy of my repository (the repository is
huge since it holds the linux-vanilla source code too) and the last
command extracts the patch against the linux-vanilla.

Once you have cloned my repository you can get updates simply using
the command:

   $ git pull git://git.enneenne.com/linuxpps

This time will be downloaded only the differences (few bytes :).

Also sending patches to me is easy. Just modify the code and then use:

   $ git diff > patch_to_submit

Refere to GIT tutorial for further info on patches creation.

Ciao,

Rodolfo
