| Chris@496 | 5 |
| Chris@498 | 6 <p>To start using version control for an initially empty project, just |
| Chris@498 | 7 initialise a repository in an empty folder:</p> |
| Chris@496 | 8 |
| Chris@496 | 9 <p><b>1. Click the Open toolbar button or use File -> Open</b></p> |
| Chris@496 | 10 |
| Chris@498 | 11 <p><center><img src="images/openfolder50.png"></center></p> |
| Chris@496 | 12 |
| Chris@498 | 13 <p><b>2. Select “File folder” as the thing you want to open</b></p> |
| Chris@496 | 14 |
| Chris@498 | 15 <p><b>3. Make a new folder in the file dialog and browse to it</b></p> |
| Chris@496 | 16 |
| Chris@496 | 17 <p><b>4. Click OK</b></p> |
| Chris@496 | 18 |
| Chris@498 | 19 <p>A new repository will be created, stowed into the empty working folder |
| Chris@498 | 20 you selected. At first, it will have an empty history. You can then |
| Chris@498 | 21 start to add and commit changes to your files. |
| Chris@498 | 22 <ul><li>Note: the equivalent Mercurial command for this is <b>hg init</b></li></ul> |
