Pierre Goudjo Git Understanding Git architecture and object model
None
None
Seriously, what is Git?
Git is a Version Control System
None
Git is a distributed Version Control System
A CENTRALIZED VCS
A DISTRIBUTED VCS
A Distributed VCS (in practice)
Each repository contains all the commits and history locally
None
Just like it sounds, a "remote" is a repo outside
your environment. Remotes
A Distributed VCS (in practice)
Cloning creates a remote called "origin" Remotes ~$ git clone
http://some.repo.com someDirectory ~$ git branch -a * master remotes/origin/master
Where is the remote? Remotes ~$ git remote -v origin
http://some.repo.com (fetch) origin http://some.repo.com (push)
A local branch may “track” a remote URL Remotes ~$
git branch -vv * master b956c45 [origin/master] Initial commit some-local-branch a74b295 Implemented that cool feature
Tracking Remotes
Tracking Remotes ~$ git checkout -b new-feature
Tracking Remotes ~$ git branch —set-upstream-to=origin/new-feature ~$ git checkout -b
new-feature
Tracking Remotes ~$ git branch —set-upstream-to=origin/new-feature ~$ git branch -u
origin/new-feature ~$ git checkout -b new-feature
Tracking Remotes ~$ git branch —set-upstream-to=origin/new-feature ~$ git branch -u
origin/new-feature ~$ git push -u origin/new-feature ~$ git checkout -b new-feature
Tracking Remotes ~$ git branch —set-upstream-to=origin/new-feature ~$ git branch -u
origin/new-feature ~$ git push -u origin/new-feature ~$ git checkout -b new-feature ~$ git checkout existing-branch-on-remote
Tracking Remotes ~$ git branch —set-upstream-to=origin/new-feature ~$ git branch -u
origin/new-feature ~$ git push -u origin/new-feature ~$ git branch -vv master b956c45 [origin/master] Initial commit new-feature b956c45 [origin/new-feature] Initial commit * existing-branch-on-remote b956c45 [origin/existing-branch-on-remote] Another commit some-local-branch a74b295 Implemented that cool feature ~$ git checkout -b new-feature ~$ git checkout existing-branch-on-remote
A Distributed VCS (in practice)
What about other repos? How this is distributed?
A DISTRIBUTED VCS
Other Remotes Remotes ~$ git remote add another http://another.repo.fr ~$
git remote -v origin http://some.repo.com (fetch) origin http://some.repo.com (push) another http://another.repo.fr (fetch) another http://another.repo.fr (push)
None
What about the version control part?
The major di ff erence between Git and other VCS
is the way they think about data
File states in Git
The staging area
CVS, SVN and others think of the information they store
as a set of data and the changes made to each fi le over time Δ-based version control
Every time you commit Git takes a picture of what
all your fi les look like at that moment Snapshot-based version control
Git store snapshots of directories and fi les Tree and
Blob Objects
Git commit structure
Commit objects parents
HEAD pointer
Branches
git branch testing Branch
git checkout testing Branch change in Git
Tagging
git reset —hard Discard commits
git reset —hard Discard commits
git branch <branch>; git checkout <branch>; git checkout -b <branch>
Commits and branches
git branch <branch>; git checkout <branch>; git checkout -b <branch>
Commits and branches
git merge <branch> ; git merge <branch> — ff -only
Fast-forward merge
git merge <branch> ; git merge <branch> — ff -only
Fast-forward merge
git merge <branch>; git merge <branch> —no- f Merge commits
git merge <branch>; git merge <branch> —no- f Merge commits
Multiple merge commits
git rebase <branch> Rebasing
git rebase <branch> Rebasing
Fast forwarding rebased branch
git cherry-pick <commit_hash> Cherry-picking
git cherry-pick <commit_hash> Cherry-picking
