Install Git on A Mac

http://git-scm.com Download and Install, then go to terminal and type

git --version

Install Git on Windows

Same as mac, but you have to use the git terminal

Getting Started with a Git Project

  • Identify a folder project
    • CD into Project Directory
  • In the git Terminal enter
git init

Add files to the Staging Environment

git add .
git status // will give you the status

Committing Files

This saves the state of the files at a specific time

get commit -m "whatever you want to say"

Edit Global File

git config --global --edit
vi commands
i // for insert
Esc key
:wq // saves the file

After doing this, you may fix the identity used for this commit with:

   git commit --amend --reset-author

Other git Commands

git log
git checkout about.html// this will revert the previous version in staging or if you delete a file it will bring it back
* the git checkout is like an undelete
if you want to commit the deleted file to staging
git add about.html

Delete a file from project and also from staging

git rm about.html

Unstage changes after reset

git reset HEAD about.html // pulls it out of archive and puts it back into staging
git checkout about.html // restores the file

Its a 2 step process, because staging is like undo and the archive is pulling the saved version and putting it back into undo

Process many changes to staging

if you modified files and delete files and did a lot of changes you can issue

git add --all // this will take care of all modifications

Working with different commits

git log // this will show you all the commits
git checkout 9bf8c5934dc294fe21cf0cb2bb9e89afb711af62 // the commit hash

This will restore this commit, but it will be in a alternate branch the original branch is the master branch and you can go back an restore the last master commit

Switch back to master branch

git checkout master

Create another branch from previous commits

git branch nameofbranch hashcode of previous commit

Switching between branches will restore the files that was committed in that branch

Cloning a Repository from GitHub

get the clone url from github, then issue command below

git clone https://github.com/planetoftheweb/responsive.git

When it clones it only clones the master branch but you can view the other branches

git branch -a

to get any other branch:

git checkout -b localnameForBranch location/nameofbranch/
  • eg. remotes/origin/02_08

So to get that branch:

git checkout -b localName origin/02_08

Cloning a Repository with all its braches

  • First Create a Directory for the project
  • switch to that directory
git clone --mirror https://github.com/planetoftheweb/responsive.git .git

It will download a hidden .git file with all the repositories, to convert it to a regular Repository Execute

git config --bool core.bare false
git reset --hard

All files should be visible now

Get Only a Specific Branch From the Repo

git clone -b 00_01 https://github.com/planetoftheweb/responsive.git

If you are using a Start branch as a template the logs will still show all the branches up to the last. To clear the log so you can start fresh, you would have to delete the .git folder

rm -drf .git
git init
git add .
git commit -m "first Commit"
