  • Git- The Command line

  • 1. Install Git on windows

  • 2. Set your Identity
    The first thing you should do when you install Git is to set your user name and email address
    $ git config --global user.name "JALA Technologies", need to include quotes
    $ git config –global user.email jalatechnologies.com

  • 3. Configure the editor
    $ git config --global core.editor emacs

  • 4. Check your settings
    $ git config –list

  • 5. Check the specific key value
    $ git config user.name

  • 6. Getting help
    $ git help
    $ man git-
    Ex: $ git help config

  • 7. Initializing a repository
    Navigate to project repositories folder D:\GitRepos and type
    $ git init

  • 8. Cloning an existing repository
    Go to GitHub and click the below button for the Repository URL
    $ git clone https://github.com/jalatechnologies/HelloWorld.git
    This command should clone the repository on to your computer

  • 9. Making changes to the cloned repository
    Some basics to know
    Tracked files: Files that Git knows
    Untracked files: Files that Git doesn’t know
    As you edit files, Git sees them as modified, because you’ve changed them since your
    last commit. As you work, you selectively stage these modified files and then commit all
    those staged changes, and the cycle repeats

  • 10. Checking the status of your files
    $ git status

  • 11 . Tracking new files
    If you add any files to the cloned repository, it is untracked by default. Run git status
    command to check if the file is tracked or untracked
    $ git add FILE NAME

  • 12. Staging modified files
    Again git add is used to stage. It is a multipurpose command
    $ git add FILE NAME

  • 13. Committing the changes
    $ git commit –m “First commit from the command line”

  • 14. Viewing the Commit history
    $ git log

  • 15 . Showing your remotes
    $ git remote
    $ git remote -v

  • 16. Fetching and Pulling from your remotes
    $ git fetch
    or
    $ git fetch origin- fetches any new work that has been pushed to that server since
    you cloned (or last fetched from) it

  • 17. Pushing to your remotes
    $ git push origin master

  • 18. Creating a new Branch
    $ git branch BRANCHNAME

  • 19. Switching Branches
    $ git checkout testing

  • 20. Basic merging
    $ git checkout master
    $ git merge workingBranch-Do remember to switch to the branch the changes should go into

  • 21. Listing the branches
    $ git branch
