Complete Git + Mousetrap Install

Installing git and MouseTrap

 Open a terminal, become root
 Run Commands:
 -> sudo yum install git-core                                * Install git 
 -> mkdir MouseTrap                                          * Create MouseTrap directory
 -> cd MouseTrap                                             * Go to your Mousetrap directory
 -> git clone git://git.gnome.org/mousetrap                  * Clone the git repo to your computer 
 -> git checkout gnome3-wip                                  * Retrieve the current working branch 
 -> cd mousetrap

Make a branch

 -> git branch INSERT_BRANCH_NAME      * this clones my branch and creates a new one
 -> git checkout INSERT_BRANCH_NAME    * this opens up your branch that you just created
 -> git branch                         * now you can see the branch your in with a *, and all others under this git repo

Mousetrap Install method

 Install Dependencies:
 -> yum install gnome-common
 -> yum install glib2-devel
 -> yum install intltool
 -> yum install python-devel
 -> yum install opencv-python
 -> yum install python-xlib
 Run Commands:
 -> cd /opt/git/mousetrap/src          * THIS WILL NOT WORK OUTSIDE THIS DIR!
 -> cd ..
 -> ./autogen.sh
 -> make
 -> make install
 -> mousetrap                          * You may have errors but they should be similar to my own (towards the end)

Make your first commit

 -> git status                         * Shows all of the modified files
 -> git add *                          * This is to add ALL files to commit list (MAKE SURE YOU WANT THEM ALL FIRST!)
 -> git commit                         * Add a useful title to first line of your commit.
                                         This is in vim so 'i' to insert ':x' to save and quit.
 -> git push origin INSERT_BRANCH_NAME * This must be the branch you created in the git install.
                                         This will ask for your git credentials, so have them ready.
