Git and GitHub Tutorial

 ***** Git and GitHub Tutorial *****


Steps to Practice Cmd:- 

1) Create an account in GitHub and create one repository with a readme file.

2) Download and install git for your OS.

3) Open Git Bash cmd and check git version 

cmd => $ git --version

4) You can setup git credentials using

cmd=> git config --global user.name "YourUsername"  and 

cmd=> git config --global user.email "YourEmailID"

5) Move to the desired directory using the cd command

6) Now to clone the repository from Github 

cmd => git clone <github url of your repo>   ..... 

ex => git clone https://github.com/rajmote/helpdeskui.git

7) check what you got from GitHub 

cmd=> ls   (It will give you readme.txt file in the list.)

8) Now check the status by 

cmd => git status  (On branch main Your branch is up to date with 'origin/main'.)

9) Now add your project or project files in a directory which you want to check-in and hit 

cmd => git status 

(Untracked files:  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)    filename.ext)

10) Now if you want to check in a single file then 

cmd => git add <filename> 

11) if you want to check in all files then 

cmd=> git add .

12) Now check status 

cmd => git status

13) Now commit the added changes cmd=> git commit -m "Give comment for committing changes"

14) check status 

cmd => git status

15) Its time to push committed changes to the GitHub repository 

cmd=> git push origin master (make sure about your origin/main or something else)

16) If you face any issue in the above cmd then try 

cmd=> git push (It will work)

17) Then status check 

cmd => git status

18) Now if someone else had made changes in code and you want to pull it then 

cmd => Git pull 

19) Check status again cmd => git status 

20) Once you done with the above steps then practice following things,

 Some cheat codes and bonus points in details:-

INSTALLATION & GUIS With platform-specific installers for Git, GitHub also provides the ease of staying up-to-date with the latest releases of the command-line tool while providing a graphical user interface for day-to-day interaction, review, and repository synchronization.

GitHub for Windows

GitHub for Mac

For Linux and Solaris platforms, the latest release is available on the official Git website. 

Git for All Platforms htp://git-scm.com

SETUP & INIT 

Configuring user information, initializing and cloning repositories 

cmd=> git init 

initialize an existing directory as a Git repository 

cmd=> git clone [url]

STAGE & SNAPSHOT 

Working with snapshots and the Git staging are

cmd=> git status 

show modified files in the working directory, staged for your next commit

cmd=> git add [file] 

add a file as it looks now to your next commit (stage)

cmd=> git reset [file]

unstage a file while retaining the changes in the working director

cmd=> git diff 

diff of what is changed but not staged 

cmd=> git diff --staged 

diff of what is staged but not yet committed 

cmd=> git commit -m “[descriptive message]” 

commit your staged content as a new commit snapshot

BRANCH & MERGE 

Isolating work in branches, changing context, and integrating changes 

cmd=> git branch

list your branches. a * will appear next to the currently active branch 

cmd=> git branch [branch-name] 

create a new branch at the current commit 

cmd=> git checkout 

switch to another branch and check it out into your working directory 

cmd=> git merge [branch] 

merge the specified branch’s history into the current one

cmd=> git log

show all commits in the current branch’s history

SHARE & UPDATE 

Retrieving updates from another repository and updating local repos 

cmd=> git remote add [alias] [url] 

add a git URL as an alias 

cmd=> git fetch [alias] 

fetch down all the branches from that Git remote 

cmd=> git merge [alias]/[branch] 

merge a remote branch into your current branch to bring it up to date 

cmd=> git push [alias] [branch]

Transmit local branch commits to the remote repository branch 

cmd=> git pull 

fetch and merge any commits from the tracking remote branch

REWRITE HISTORY 

Rewriting branches, updating commits and clearing history 

cmd=> git rebase [branch] 

apply any commits of current branch ahead of specified one 

cmd=> git reset --hard [commit]

clear staging area, rewrite working tree from specified commit

INSPECT & COMPARE 

Examining logs, diffs and object information 

cmd=> git log

show the commit history for the currently active branch 

cmd=> git log branchB..branchA

show the commits on branchA that are not on branchB 

cmd=> git log --follow [file] 

show the commits that changed file, even across renames 

cmd=> git diff branchB...branchA 

show the diff of what is in branchA that is not in branchB 

cmd=> git show [SHA] 

show any object in Git in human-readable format

TRACKING PATH CHANGES 

Versioning file removes and path changes 

cmd=> git rm [file] 

delete the file from project and stage the removal for commit 

cmd=> git mv [existing-path] [new-path] 

change an existing file path and stage the move 

cmd=> git log --stat -M 

show all commit logs with indication of any paths that moved

TEMPORARY COMMITS 

Temporarily store modified, tracked files in order to change branches 

cmd=> git stash

Save modified and staged changes
