Goal

GitDTL lets you manage common Git operations with numbered buttons and readable explanations.

Choose a Project

  1. Open GitDTL.
  2. Check the displayed folder.
  3. Use Change project if the folder is not the right one.
If the folder is not yet a Git repository, GitDTL can suggest initializing it.

Recommended Git Routine

1. Read status

Start with the project status option to know what needs attention.

2. Review changes

Check differences before staging or committing.

3. Stage then commit

Add relevant files, then create a commit with a clear message.

Publish to GitHub

After a commit, the publish option sends changes to the configured remote repository. If no remote exists, GitDTL asks for the GitHub URL.

Create a Version

Version creation associates a version commit and a tag. This marks a stable project step.

Read the Log

The log helps understand what was launched and review possible errors. It can be opened from the interface.
