== Prepare a local branch to work on ==
 git branch master

== List the local branch ==
You can now list your local branch by doing
 git branch
which should ouput
 * master

== Commit ==
Now you can start to work on your tree. As soon as you feel you've reached a step in developement you can commit '''localy''' your work by
 git commit -a
or
 git commit <specific files>

== Keeping your local working branch in sync ==
 git fetch origin
 git rebase origin
voilà! Your commit will be re-applied on top of the origin (the svn trunk).

== Creating a secondary local branch ==
If you want to work on a specific project that could require a branch of the trunk
 git branch mywork
to actually use it
 git checkout mywork
Then do some commit on it
 git checkout master
to go back to your normal branch
