===== Why Git =====
You can read about unique git features on [[http://git-scm.com/about|git project pages]]. The main motivation is that Git makes the life of developpers without read-write repository access more easier. 

===== What it means for me? =====
  * If you are using the release version of OOFEM, installed from official download, you don't have to do anything.
  * If you are user and want to keep touch with ongoing development you should clone git repository and regularly synchronize with a new git repository.
  * If you are contributing developper, the switching to the Git is a must.

The OOFEM [[git-tutorial|Git tutorial]] provides the basic introductuion to Git and summarizes the main steps needed.
