Git
I’ve installed git and am able to clone a remote repo (eg, MAR). Using GitX as the GUI things appear to work as expected. What I can’t figure out from the git docs is how to set the path to my local repo which in this case is ~/Documents/Repository/git/. Instead, when I clone a repo it’s placed in my Home folder. Seems somewhat similar yet different from a svn setup.

I don’t know how you would set that in Gitx, but if you simply open a terminal, cd to the desired folder, and type git fetch (url of the repo) you’ll have everything where you want it.

Ditto having not tried gitx, but on the command line you can specify a folder/directory to clone as an option instead of changing directory to begin with:
