### Create a git repository
|
|
`git init`
|
|
- This defines the folder as a git repository, and creates `.git`, a folder that contains metadata about the repo, like where the *remote* (repository hosted somewhere else) is, and other useful stuff like version control. You should not need to directly interact with this folder.
|
|
|
|
`git add .`
|
|
- This makes all files and folders in the current repository(can also be more precise by replacing `.` with specific files) tracked.
|
|
|
|
|
|
`git commit -am "The Epoch"`
|
|
- Syntax breakdown:
|
|
- `-a` All, commit all changes
|
|
- `-m` Have a message, takes a string argument, in this example, "The Epoch"
|
|
|
|
#### If adding a remote repository, GitHub or otherwise.
|
|
`git remote add origin https://urltorepo.com/path/to/repo`
|
|
- Telling git that the files should come from and go to that remote repository, where `https://urltorepo.com/path/to/repo` is the destination repo.
|
|
- If the url is wrong, it can be removed with `git remote remove origin`
|
|
|
|
`git branch -M main`
|
|
- Syntax breakdown:
|
|
- `-M`, shortcut for `--move --force`, used to move/rename a branch.
|
|
- Telling git that we want the current branch to be `main`.
|
|
|
|
`git push -u origin main`
|
|
- Synatx breakdown:
|
|
- `-u` is a shortcut for `--set-upstream`
|
|
- Telling git that we want the main host of the repository(`origin`, or `https://urltorepo.com/path/to/repo`) to be the host. After this is run one time, git remembers, and you can shorten it to `git push`, to take commits(saved changes) from your local code, and send them to remote(GitHub or other Git server).
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Update code on github/remote
|
|
`git commit -am "changes"`
|
|
- Tell git to keep track of all the changes you made
|
|
|
|
`git push`
|
|
- Take code here and put it on the server
|
|
|
|
### Get code from github
|
|
`git clone https://remotehost.com/repo/to/clone`
|
|
- Download a folder containing all of the code and versions to a project, where `https://remotehost.com/repo/to/clone` is the url of the repo in question.
|
|
|
|
### Fetch recent changes from github
|
|
`git pull`
|
|
- Take the most recent commits from github, and copy them locally.
|
|
|
|
### Merge local changes with remote changes
|
|
`git stash`
|
|
- Take any code that hasn't been committed, and save, before reverting back to the latest commit.
|
|
`git pull`
|
|
- Fetch remote changes and apply them locally |
