HOWTO - Git Usage
What is Git
Git is a software for tracking changes in any set of files, usually used for corrdinating work among programmers collaboratively developing source code during software development.
from wikipedia
Thus, with Git, we can collaborate within group and between group. GitHub is a company which provide a tools/website which intergrate with git. There are many other alternatives to GitHub, suc has GitLab, Bitbucket and Gitee.
Basic Knowledge of Git
NOTICE: in this document, we only introduce the git usage on UNIX-like platforms (e.g. macOS and Linux), for Windows, the usage of git are similar but the usage of bash/cmd are not. What's more, we will not introduce the installation of Git.
create a local git repository(repo)
To begin, first you need to open up a terminal and move to the path that you want to place the proejct on.
cd ~/development/
mkdir template
cd tempalte
Then, to initialize a git repository in the root of the folder, run the git init command:
git init
Here, you have initilzed a git repo on the local machine.
add a news file to the repo
After the coding, you produce a multiple files that want to upload to the git server, then, you need let the git know which file you want to update
touch helloworld.c # <- create a file called helloworld.c
git add helloworld.c # <- include the "helloworld.c" in
Usually, you need to check and add one-by-one, however, if you want to upload all the files(and folders) under the root path(or specific path), you can just use git add .
git add .
create a commit
The git commit command captures a snapshot of the project's currently staged changes.
git commit -m"This is my first commit"
push the commit
The git push command is used to upload local repository content to a remote repository.
git push
pull the commit
The git pull command is used to fetch and download content from a remote repository and immediately update the local repository to match that content. Thus, please do the git pull before you start changing you local code
git pull
