Hi

Welcome to git repository for Peeter Joot’s ([email protected]) physicsplay.

This contains the source for most of my physics, and geometric algebra (GA) blog posts or their associated standalone pdf versions.

./notes/gabook/*

and

./notes/nonga/*

are, respectively, the sources for my bookish Geometric Algebra and Misc Physicsplay notes compilations. Note that at 1300 pages my GA notes are too big to be actually considered a book. It is much harder to write something short than big, and severe editing would be required to deserve the label book. The miscphysics stuff is most other stuff I’ve written that is complete enough that I wanted an index for it, but there is no specific focus for what is in it.

Although I don’t expect anybody else would ever contribute to what I have written, the fact that git provides a VCS that supports directories (unlike RCS) and symlinks (unlike CVS) made it a natural choice for me to use. It is also kind of cool that github essentially provides free DR backup, provided I don’t use up my storage quota.

Mini Git Cheetsheet

cheatsheet for grabbing a copy of my stuff on a new machine

mkdir physicsplay

cd physicsplay

git init

git remote add origin [email protected]:peeterjoot/physicsplay.git

git pull origin master

minimial ssh setup is also required for this. Run ssh-keygen, and ssh-agent (sourcing the agent env vars).

After this, work on stuff, ‘git commit filename’ or ‘git commit -a’ to checkin. ‘git add filename’ to make something new (file, dir, symlink), and finally to copy back to the github repository:

git pull origin master
