  2. Ubuntu and Windows • Commands here can be executed in

    the respective OS as defined below • Ubuntu ◦ Can use their system terminal • Windows ◦ Select git bash in your Right-click context menu
  3. git Hosting Bitbucket Github Unlimited public and private repositories Unlimited

    Public repositories Cost based on number of users Cost based on number of repositories Supports git and hg Supports git only • Codeplane, Githost, Assembla, Cloudforge, Gitorious • Bitbucket Username - arulmurugan E-Mail - [email protected]
  4. Git configuration Basic Configurations: • git config --global user.name "second_user_name"

    • git config --global user.email "second_user_email" • git config --global push.default "matching" • git config --global color.status auto • git config --global color.branch auto • git config --list Optional Configurations: • git config --global branch.master.remote origin • git config --global branch.master.merge refs/heads/master
  5. .gitignore • Can be configured to ignore certain files and

    directories • Git ignores empty directories by default
  6. My first repo • cd ~/git/myproject/ #Open your project directory

    in terminal • git init #Initiating a git repository • git remote add origin [email protected]:arulmurugan/dummy.git #Adding remote repository URL • git add . #Adding files to be committed • git commit -m "Initial commit" #Committing the added files and changes • git push origin master #Pushing the commits to remote repository
  7. git status • Will show the list changed and new

    files which are yet to be committed
  8. git add & git commit • git add . #To

    add all untracked files • git add test2.html #To add specific files • git commit -am "commit message" #To commit all changed files • git commit -m "commit message" test1.html #To commit specific files
  9. Status and History • git diff #Shows differences in uncommitted

    files / last commit • git log #Shows history of commits in the current branch • git log --oneline --abbrev-commit #Shows one line commit history with short commit id • git log --graph --pretty --oneline --abbrev-commit #Shows the history as graph • git diff-tree --name-only -r <commit_id> #Shows files changed in the commit • git show <commit_id> #Shows changes in the commit
  10. History of file • git log [filename] #Shows commits for

    the file • git log -p [filename] #Shows commits for the file with changes • git log --follow -p [filename] #Shows commits for the file including renames • git blame [filename] #Shows author and commit per line of the file • git blame -L 1,3 [filename] #Shows author and commit from line 2 to line 3 • git commit --amend -m "More changes - now correct" #To amend changes to previous commit before pushing
  11. Remote repositories • git remote #Show the existing remote repos

    • git remote show origin #Show the details of remote repo origin • git clone [email protected]:arulmurugan/dummy.git #To clone remote repository
  12. git stash • Allows to save the current uncommitted changes

    and checkout the last committed revision. • Allows you to pull in the latest changes without conflicts. • Afterwards you can restore the stashed changes, which will apply the changes to the current version of the source code.
  13. git stash (Contd...) • git stash save "stash message" #To

    save uncommited changes as stash • git stash list #To view list of saved stashes #stash@{0}: On master: Title changed • git stash apply stash@{0} #To apply the particular stash • git stash drop stash@{0} #To drop particular stash • git stash clear #To drop all saved stashes • git stash pop #To apply most recent stash and delete it from list of stashes
  14. Reverting changes • git clean - To remove newly added

    files ◦ git clean -n #To see what would happen ◦ git clean -f #To remove the files • git checkout - To revert changed and deleted files ◦ git checkout . #To revert all changed files ◦ git checkout [filename] #To restore or revert the file ◦ git checkout <commit_id> #To checkout a particular commit
  15. Reverting changes (Contd...) • git reset [filename] #To remove a

    file added by git add before pushing • git checkout HEAD -- [dir_name] #To recover an accidentally deleted directory in repo • git revert <commit_id> #To revert a particular commit • git reset --hard HEAD~1 #To delete last 1 commit • git reset --hard <sha1-commit-id> #To delete upto a particular commit • git push -f #Push with force to push commit deletions
  16. Reverting changes (Contd...) • git reflog #Shows a history of

    the complete changes of your current branch based on the HEAD revision • git reset --hard <commit_id> #To revert to a commit shown in git reflog
  17. Branches • Branches are copies of the files from a

    certain commit. • These branches can be changed independently from each other. • The default branch is called master. • Untracked files remain unchanged and are available in the new branch. This allows you to create a branch for unstaged and uncommitted changes at any point in time.
  18. Branches (Contd...) • git branch #List available branches • git

    branch -a #List available branches including remote branches • git branch -r #List remote branches only • git branch <branch_name> #To create new branch • git checkout <branch_name> #To switch to a branch • git checkout -b <branch_name> #To create a branch and switch to it
  19. Branches (Contd...) • git checkout -b <branch_name> master~1 #Create a

    new branch based on master without last commit • git branch -d <branch_name> #To delete a branch • git push origin <branch_name> #To push branch to remote • git push origin --delete <branch_name> #To delete a remote branch • git checkout -b <branch_name> origin/<branch_name> #To create a tracking branch • git merge <branch_name> #To merge specified branch with current branch
  20. Retrieving files • git show [reference]:[filename] #To see contents of

    a file # [reference] can be a branch, tag, HEAD or commit ID • git show [reference]:[filename] > [filename_copy] #To copy a file • git log -- [filename] #To see commit history of a file, even if deleted
  21. Alias • Allows you to setup your own git command

    • git config --global alias.st 'git status' #Set command "st" for git status #Now git st can be used instead of git status • git config --global alias.acm '!git add . -A && git commit' #Set command "acm" for git add . and git commit #Now you can use git acm "message" for commits #Not supported in windows*
  22. Submodules - Repos inside repos • Allows you to include

    another Git repository into a Git repository • git submodule add [URL to Git repo] #To add submodule to your repo • After cloning a repo with submodules ◦ git submodule init #Creates local configuration file for submodules ◦ git submodule update #To clone submodules
