== Getting started ==
The Hermes repository needs "cloning" to your environment. Open ''Terminal'' and type:

$ cd workspace
  $ git clone git://bleb.org/ hermes.git

We then need to tell git about you:

$ git config --global user.name "'''Joe Bloggs'''"
  $ git config --global user.email "'''jbloggs@example.com'''"

Finally, we import the project into Eclipse:

# Start ''ESBox''
# Select ''File > Import... > General > Existing project into workspace...''
# Browse to <code>~/workspace/hermes.git</code>
# Ensure ''Hermes'' is checked.
# Click ''Finish''.

== Starting Maemo ==
From within ''ESBox'' click the drop down next to the Maemo '''ae''' and select ''Start''.

== Starting Hermes ==
TBC!

== Development ==
=== Committing changes ===
When there are changes in your working copy. git needs to be told that you want to commit the changes to these files (and that "Usage.txt" is a new file it should care about):

$ cd ~/src/hermes.git
  $ git status
  $ git add Logos/Usage.txt Logos/bg-transparent.png
  $ git status

Finally, commit the changes to your local branch with an appropriate commit message:

$ git commit -m "Tweak PNG logo, and add usage guidelines"

You can use <code>git log</code> and GUI tools like <code>gitk</code> to explore the branch on your harddisk, and see the changes over time.

'''When should you commit?'''

Commit when a "chunk" of work has been completed, and make each commit contain files which are related.

=== Pushing changes ===
It is important to ''push'' your changes back up to the master repo, as this then makes them available for "pulling" by anyone else on the project:

$ git push origin master

''origin'' is the name of your local branch, and ''master'' is the name of the remote branch.

=== Pulling changes ===
Similarly, other people may have made changes which you should be aware of. You can retrieve them by doing:

$ git pull origin master
