Howdy, and welcome to the parallel fourier transform sources. Notes about the old implementations/algorithms are kept in NOTES If you want to know how to get access to the repository, go to http://github.com/ and create an account. Once that's done, send an email to Trever Fischer <tdf11@uakron.edu> with your github account name. He'll add it to the list of contributors and you can start pushing commits. To start with git, run: git clone git@github.com:workman161/fourier.git This'll make a clone of the git repository. At this point, your repository is totally independent of the github one. Any changes you make must later be pushed to the 'origin' repository. After you make some changes, run: git add <files> This stages your changes for adding to the next commit. This lets you do some fancy things, but thats outside the scope of this tutorial. After all your changes are staged, you now commit it: git commit -m "<commit message>" Without the -m option and message, git starts up $EDITOR and lets you write a much more detailed message. You can make as many commits as you want. They all stay in your local repository. Once you get reconnected to the network, you can push those commits to the main repository with this: git push Its really easy once you get the hang of it. For more tips or how to use the gui in windows, ask Trever Fischer <tdf11@uakron.edu> and he'll be happy to explain more than you need to know.
