git - How to use code repo so that same user from multiple PCs can access it in Netbeans IDE
2014-07
I am planning to work on a software project using Netbeans-- now I want to work across multiple PCs - how can I set up Netbeans and the Git/Mercurial repo so that I can for eg-- make code changes in one pc, commit to code repo, and then when I go to second pc i can see the updated code?
Netbeans.org has a great tutorial on setting up the git repository on your machine. Simply replicate the process across your PCs and git will take care of the versioning and history.

I've used Mercurial for some time now, and am used to its workflow. Suddenly, I need to work with a Git repository, and I cannot make the install work from the head revision. In Mercurial I would just update to an earlier revision and go, but I don't see how to do that in Git.
So, how do I revert to an earlier state in a Git repository?
git checkout <older revision key>
The first little bit of the hash works as a revision key, provided that it only matches that revision.
