Git notes

Setting up a Git Repository

• Importing
  1. Switch to the target project’s directory: cd
  2. Use the git init command: git init
  3. To start tracking these repository files:
     • git add *.c
     • git add LICENSE
     • git commit -m “any message here”
• Cloning
  • git clone URL

Workflow

• Useful commands:
  • Check file status: git status
  • Tracking and staging a new file:
    • Single file: git add filename
    • All files: git add *
  • Committing a file: git commit -m “made change 1, 2, 3”
  • Committing all changes: git commit -a
  • Pushing changes: git push origin main
  • Stashing changes: git stash
  • Retrieving the hidden changes: git stash apply

Remote Repositories

• Seeing your remotes
  • git remote
  • git remote -v
