How to get started with git / github support for Monticello?

Question

I've read recently that git / github support has been added to Monticello.

I have also seen some Smalltalk projects published in github. Like:

https://github.com/timfel/ratpack

My questions:

• How to get started?
• What do I need to install in order to load/save projects from/to github?

Answer 1

• FileTree a monticello based implementation for the Cypress package format
• FS-Git a git implementation for FileSystem (with experimental support for Monticello versioning)
• Gitocello is another Monticello/Export interaction tool

Except for FS-Git (which is in experimental mode) all these tools require a slightly different workflow than Monticello. FileTree and Gitocello "just" export the Smalltalk sources with additional meta-data to files. You then still have to go to the command-line and commit; push these changes.
