Get Started

This section assumes that you have completed the basic installation steps described in the AccuRev GitCentric Installation and Release Notes.

Now you will perform some configuration steps and actually use the GitCentric GUI for the first time.

Note: Administrators -- Before you begin to associate Git repositories and branches with AccuRev depots and streams, you must have a solid understanding of your current Git and AccuRev processes. Please be sure to read through Chapter 1 Concepts and Overview, particularly GitCentric Administrators and Mapping Branches to Streams on page 4, Mapped Behavior on page 5, and Best Practices When Planning Your Installation on page 5.
