Git is handy version control for collaborative development and testing. This guides you briefly through basics to get started. Only terminal usage under Linux is covered, for graphical user interfaces please refer guides available at web.
Note - this was not placed under developer nor testing because it's common for all MeeGo contributors.

Please open the excellent git cheat sheet. Work flow is illustrated in the upper-right corner of cheat sheet. The most basic flow with an existing repository goes like:
git clone <repository>
Example:
git clone git://gitorious.org/meego-quality-assurance/handset-ux-tests.git
<edit or create files with your favorite tools / editors>
git add <newfile> (if you created new file) git commit -a
Your default editor is opened and you need to write description of changes.
git push (this assumes you have commit rights to repository, please check with repository admin)
That's it! Congratulations!
Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install git
If you are working with corporation you might need to resolve ssh-proxy challenge.
Make sure you have following $USER/.ssh/config for your user account
host proxy HostName <yoursshproxyhere> user <youruseraccounthere> Compression no LocalForward 2227 gitorious.org:22 host gitorious.org User git HostName 127.0.0.1 Port 2227
Run the following command:
ssh -f -N proxy <type password for your account, if required>
Please note that you need to open proxy connection every time you change network or disconnect/connect from network
Now you can clone and push over ssh proxy to gitorious.org, test as follows:
git clone git://gitorious.org/meego-quality-assurance/handset-ux-tests.git
