git --version
git --version again to verify that it was correctly installed.
Add your Git username and set your email
It is important to configure your Git username and email address, since every Git commit will use this information to identify you as the author. On your shell, type the following command to add your username:git config --global user.name "YOUR_USERNAME"
git config --global user.name
git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
git config --global user.email
--global option. It tells Git to always use this information for anything you do on that system. If you want to override this with a different username or email address for specific projects, you can run the command without the --global option when you’re in that project.
Check your information
To view the information that you entered, along with other global options, type:git config --global --list
Basic Git commands
Go to the master branch to pull the latest changes from there
git checkout master
Download the latest changes in the project
This is for you to work on an up-to-date copy (it is important to do this every time you start working on a project), while you set up tracking branches. You pull from remote repositories to get all the changes made by users since the last time you cloned or pulled the project. Later, you can push your local commits to the remote repositories.git pull REMOTE NAME-OF-BRANCH
View your remote repositories
To view your remote repositories, type:git remote -v
Create a branch
To create a branch, type the following (spaces won't be recognized in the branch name, so you will need to use a hyphen or underscore):git checkout -b NAME-OF-BRANCH
Work on an existing branch
To switch to an existing branch, so you can work on it:git checkout NAME-OF-BRANCH
View the changes you've made
It's important to be aware of what's happening and the status of your changes. When you add, change, or delete files/folders, Git knows about it. To check the status of your changes:git status
View differences
To view the differences between your local, unstaged changes and the repository versions that you cloned or pulled, type:git diff
Add and commit local changes
You'll see your local changes in red when you typegit status. These changes may be new, modified, or deleted files/folders. Use git add to stage a local file/folder for committing. Then use git commit to commit the staged files:
git add FILE OR FOLDER
git commit -m "COMMENT TO DESCRIBE THE INTENTION OF THE COMMIT"
Add all changes to commit
To add and commit all local changes in one command:git add .
git commit -m "COMMENT TO DESCRIBE THE INTENTION OF THE COMMIT"
Note: The
. character typically means all in Git.Send changes to gitlab.com
To push all local commits to the remote repository:git push REMOTE NAME-OF-BRANCH
git push origin master
Delete all changes in the Git repository
To delete all local changes in the repository that have not been added to the staging area, and leave unstaged files/folders, type:git checkout .
Delete all untracked changes in the Git repository
git clean -f
Unstage all changes that have been added to the staging area
To undo the most recent add, but not committed, files/folders:git reset .
Undo most recent commit
To undo the most recent commit, type:git reset HEAD~1
Warning: A Git commit is mostly irreversible, particularly if you already pushed it to the remote repository. Although you can undo a commit, the best option is to avoid the situation altogether.
Merge created branch with master branch
You need to be in the created branch.git checkout NAME-OF-BRANCH
