Hm, I prefer command line myself, quick howto using example as username:


1st step, add your ssh key(s) to launchpad so you can push:

https://launchpad.net/~example/+editsshkeys

2nd step, tell bzr your launchpad username:

bzr lp-login example

3rd step, code stuff:

bzr branch lp:bouilloncube
cd bouilloncube
nano my new files
bzr add my new files
bzr commit -m "these new files are awesome because X Y Z"
bzr push


Other useful commands to see what's up:

bzr status
bzr diff
bzr info

Yes, bzr is a distributed version control system, so you can work 
offline commiting small changes as you work; which is a big advantage 
over svn..

Yes, 'push' is the command to send your local commits up to the parent 
repository.

Don't worry - bzr maintains a history of changes, if you broke something 
it could always be fixed :)

Thanks, looking forward to trying it out!
