Git commands.
Basic writing and formatting git docs. 👍
- Git is the industry-standard version control system for web developers.
- Use git commands to help keep track of changes made to a project:
- git init: creates a new Git repository
- git status: inspects the contents of the working directory and staging area
- git add: adds files from the working directory to staging area, git add filename1 filename2 ...: add multiple files to staging area, git add -a, git add .
- git diff: show the different between the working directory and the staging area
- git show commit_SHA: show what changes in a specific commit
- git commit: permanently stores file changes from the staging area in the repository
- git log: shows a list of all previous commits
You can use these skills to undo changes made to your Git project
- git checkout HEAD filename: Discards changes in the working directory
- git reset HEAD filename: Unstages file changes in the staging area
- git reset commit_SHA: Reset to a previous commit in your commit history
Git branching allows users to experiment with different versions of a project by checking out separate branches to work on. The following commands are useful in the Git branch workflow.
- git branch: Lists all Git project's branches
- git branch branch_name: Creates a new branch
- git checkout branch_name: Used to switch from one branch to another
- git merge branch_name: Used to merge changes from branch_name to current branch
- git branch -d branch_name: Deletes the branch specified
- A remote is a Git repository that lives outside your Git project folder. Remotes can live on the web, on a shared network or even in a seperate folder on you local computer.
- The Git Collaborative Workflow are steps that enables smooth project development when multiple collaborators are working on the same Git project.
- The following commands help to deal with remote:
- git clone: Creates a local copy of a remote
- git remote -v: Lists a Git project's remotes
- git fetch: Fetches work from the remote into the local copy
- git merge origin/master: Merges orgin/master into your local branch
- git push origin <branch_name>: Pushes a local branch to the origin remote
- Fetch and merge changes from the remote
- Create a branch to work on a new project feature
- Develop the feature on your branch and commit your work
- Fetch and merge from the remote again (in case new commits were made while you were working)
- Push your branch up to the remote for review
- Merge your branch to master
- Delete your feature branch
