The Man behind Git. He created this Masterpiece in 2005 for the development of the Linux kernel.

Git.

Git is a tool that is used for source code management. It is used in the software industry and it's an open-source version control system used to handle massive projects.

Git is a brilliant tool it tracks your all files and their records as well as who makes changes in which parts of the project. It enables multiple developers to collaborate and work together as a team. No matter where you are from working and which part of the country it helps you to work on the same projects yes, absolutely it is a powerful tool.

During software development programmers collaboratively develop source code. It provides robust speed, data integrity, and support for distributed non-linear workflows.

Installation.

Search download git.

Download for Mac, Windows.......

After installation.............

Go to the project folder.

The project on which you work or want to upload on Github.

After this Git is ready to play..

Setup.

New users

Enter your username and Email.

$ git config --global user.name “Your Name”

Set the name that will be attached to your commits and tags.

$ git config --global user.email “you@example.com”

Set the e-mail address that will be attached to your commits and tags.

$ git config --global color.ui auto

Enable some colorization of Git output.

working on the project.

Initialize

$ git init [project name]

Create a new local repository. If [project name] is provided, Git will create a new directory name [project name] and will initialize a repository inside it. If [project name] is not provided, then a new repository is initialized in the current directory.

$ git rm [file]

Remove file from working directory and staging area.

$ git stash

Put current changes in your working directory into stash for later use.

$ git stash pop

Apply stored stash content into working directory, and clear stash.

$ git stash drop

Delete a specific stash from all your previous stashes

Most Important in Git.

$ git status

Displays the status of your working directory. Options include new, staged, and modified files. It will retrieve branch name, current commit identifier, and changes pending commit.

$ git add [file]

Add a file to the staging area. Use in place of the full file path to add all changed files from the current directory down into the directory tree.

$ git diff [file]

Show changes between working directory and staging area.

$ git diff --staged [file]

Shows any changes between the staging area and the repository.

$ git checkout -- [file]

Discard changes in working directory. This operation is unrecoverable.

$ git reset [file]

Revert your repository to a previous known working state.

$ git commit

Create a new commit from changes added to the staging area. The commit must have a message!

To check what you do.

$ git log [-n count]

List commit history of current branch. -n count limits list to last n commits.

$ git log --oneline --graph --decorate

An overview with reference labels and history graph. One commit per line.

$ git log ref..

List commits that are present on the current branch and not merged into ref. A ref can be a branch name or a tag name.

$ git log ..ref

List commit that are present on ref and not merged into current branch.

$ git reflog

List operations (e.g. checkouts or commits) made on local repository

ignoring files.

What it means by ignoring-

Sometimes

what happens if you want to upload your project or some work you merge on a certain branch you don't want that some of the images and other stuff is uploaded on my repository or in the project so, this help in this....

and need to do this

• Go and create file

.gitignore

inside this use, you need to understand what things you don't want to upload and to do this there are some characters to add in ignore file. These are here

$ cat .gitignore
/logs/*
!logs/.gitkeep
/tmp
*.swp

Verify the .gitignore file exists in your project and ignore certain type of files, such as all files in logs directory (excluding the .gitkeep file), whole tmp directory and all files *.swp. File ignoring will work for the directory (and children directories) where > .gitignore file is placed.

Github.

GitHub is a Git repository hosting service, but it adds many of its own features. While Git is a command line tool, GitHub provides a Web-based graphical interface. It also provides access control and several collaboration features, such as a wikis and basic task management tools for every project.

Fork, pull request and merge

are make GitHub so powerful. Gregg Pollack of Code School (which just launched a class called TryGit) explains that before GitHub, if you wanted to contribute to an open source project you had to manually download the project’s source code, make your changes locally, create a list of changes called a “patch” and then e-mail the patch to the project’s maintainer. The maintainer would then have to evaluate this patch, possibly sent by a total stranger, and decide whether to merge the changes.

Steps to upload the project on Github using Git.

Go to the project folder.

The project on which you work or want to upload on Github.

Enter your username and Email.

$ git config --global user.name “Your Name”

Set the name that will be attached to your commits and tags.

$ git config --global user.email “you@example.com”

Set the e-mail address that will be attached to your commits and tags.

$ git init [project name]

Create a new local repository. If [project name] is provided, Git will create a new directory name [project name] and will initialize a repository inside it. If [project name] is not provided, then a new repository is initialized in the current directory

$ git add [file name]

Add a file to the staging area. Use in place of the full file path to add all changed files from the current directory down into the directory tree.

$ git status

Displays the status of your working directory. Options include new, staged, and modified files. It will retrieve branch name, current commit identifier, and changes pending commit.

$ git commit -m "message"

Create a new commit from changes added to the staging area. The commit must have a message!

git remote add origin https://github.com/yourusername/your-repo-name.git

enter your repo name here

git remote add origin ...
