        # Git

![git](git.jpg)

Overview 

  

- Distributed version control(VC) system designed to track changes in source code and other types of files during software development.

- When several developers write code, the codes of which are then combined into 1 project. VC allows this to be more balanced and controls the whole process.

- Keeps history of the made changes.

- `Conflict` - When 2 people work on the same code and edit the same part of it in a different way.

- `Repository` - The place where the code is stored.

There are 2 types of Source-Control Systems 

| Distributed Source-Control System                                                                                                                      | Centralized Source-Control System                                                      |

| Every developer has a full copy of the entire repository on their local PC                                                                             | A single, centralized repository stored on a server                                    |

| 2 types of repositories                                                                                                                                | Only 1 repository (Remote repository) - No Local repository                            |

| Remote - The main project from which the files are downloaded                                                                                          |                                                                                        |

| Local - The copy of the Remote on your local PC                                                                                                        |                                                                                        |

| In case of conflict, the individual programmer can download the changes in his repository that the other one has made and make the appropriate changes | Almost always we get conflicts and they are very hard to fix                           |

Simple Git commands
 

Before following the below commands you would need to set Git with your GitHub profile and a SSH key. 


For GitHub:

- [GitHub docs](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/getting-started-with-git/setting-your-username-in-git) 


For SSH key:

- [GitHub docs](https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ssh) 

- [🐱Generate a New SSH Key and Add it to your GitHub](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X40b9x9BFGo&list=PLN_xGGp_EzEJvRKWLk0EIRI6sfT36-ACm&index=3)




1. Create a folder on your Desktop named `test`


   - Open `Git Bash` on your Desktop and create a folder `test` with the `mkdir` command.

2. Move to the `test` folder - `cd test`

3. In the Git console write the command 

   ```

   git init

   ```

   This command initializes a new, empty repository. Git creates a new `.git` directory in your project. Using the 

   `ls -a` command we can see the mentioned directory.

   

   ![step_3](git-commands/step_3.png)

4. Create `file-1.txt` in the `test` folder - `touch file-1.txt`

5. Check the status of your Working directory

   ```

   git status

   ```

   ![step_5](git-commands/step_5.png) 


   From the result, it can be seen that you have 1 untracked file.

6. Move the file to the Staging area

   ```

   git add file-1.txt

   ```

   ![step_6](git-commands/step_6.png)

7. Commit the changes to you Local repository

   ```

   git commit -m"[MESSAGE]"

   

   git commit -m"Created file-1.txt"

   ```

   ![step_7](git-commands/step_7.png) 


    When you see the above message, that means you are ready to the push the changes and add them to the Remote repository.

8. Add some text to `file-1.txt` - `echo "Sofia" >> file-1.txt`

   ![step_8](git-commands/step_8.png) 


   From the above message you can either prepare your changes for commit or discard them.

   

   | Restore the previous state of the file | Keep the changes you made and prepare them for commit  |

   |----------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------|

   | `git restore file-1.txt`               | `git add file-1.txt`                                   |

    With this command you can add 1 file at a time, but what if you have multiple...

9. Add 2 more files to the `test` folder

   ![step_9](git-commands/step_9.png)

10. Add ALL files at once to the Staging area

    ```

    git add .

    ```

    ![step_10](git-commands/step_10.png)

11. Commit the changes

    ```

    git commit -m"Added 2 new files and changed file-1.txt"

    ```

12. Remove `file-3.txt`

    ```

    rm -i file-3.txt

    ```

    ![step_12](git-commands/step_12.png)

13. Prepare everything for commit and commit the changes

    ```

    git add .

    

    git commit -m"Deleted file-3.txt"

    ```

14. Check the history of your commits

    ```

    git log

    ```

    ![step_14](git-commands/step_14.png)

15. Use the below command to rename the current branch to `main`

    ```

    git branch -M main

    ```

    ![step_15](git-commands/step_15.png)

16. Create a repository on GitHub and connect it to your Local repository 
 

    After you have created a repository on GitHub copy the below:

    ![step_16](git-commands/step_16.png)

17. Push your changes:

    ```

    git push -u origin main

    ```

    ![step_17](git-commands/step_17.png) 


    We can see the files in GitHub now.

    ![step_17(1)](git-commands/step_17(1).png)

18. Add `README.md` in your Remote repository 


    We don't have this `README.md` file in our Local repository, so let's get it.

    

    | `git fetch`                                                                                | `git pull`                                                                                      | `git clone`                                                 |

    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------|

    | Retrieves changes from a Remote repository without merging them into your Local repository | Fetches changes from a Remote repository and automatically merges them into your current branch | Creates a copy of a Remote repository on your Local machine |

    | When you want to merge the changes use `git merge`                                         | `git fetch` + `git merge`                                                                       | `git clone [URL]`                                           |

Branches
