 Launchpad does not currently support automatic synchronization to/from Git branches. Instead, you can create an git-to-bzr code import, and import translations from this Bazaar branch. You can periodically download the translations for a project and sync them manually.
+===== Examples =====
+We'll use Xubuntu Documentation ([[https://code.launchpad.net/xubuntu-docs|lp:xubuntu-docs]]) for our examples.
+==== Cloning a Repository ====
+<code>git clone lp:xubuntu-docs # Requires the configuration outlined above in "Setting up Git"
+cd xubuntu-docs</code>
+==== Making Changes ====
+<code># Make a change to Makefile
+git status # Shows changed files
+git diff # Shows changes to files
+git add Makefile # Adds a single file to be committed
+# or
+git add -u # Adds all changed files to be committed
+git commit -m "Some makefile changes"
+git push # Pushes the commit to the repository</code>
+==== Pushing to a Branch ====
+Say you have some changes you want want to have merged. Instead of pushing directly to the main repository, you can instead push your own branch. In the below example, you tell git about your new "remote" where you are going to be pushing your commits. In this example we will use the following names:
+  * "myfeaturebranch" as the name of our new branch.
+  * "myremote" as the name of our new remote repository.
+  * "myusername" as our Launchpad username.
+  * Replace these as necessary.
+<code>git checkout -b myfeaturebranch # Creates a new branch and switches to it
+git remote add myremote lp:~myusername/xubuntu-docs/myfeaturebranch # Adds the remote repository location
+git push --set-upstream myremote myfeaturebranch</code>
