README - Learn-git 

------------------------------- 

Version 1.0.0

For Installation Instructions and Explanation of the following 

notes... Read the git Quick Start Guide: http://help.github.com/ 

For more in-depth reserch of git tool go to http://progit.org/ 

* Get a local copy of the project. 

	* git clone [url] 

		Examples: $ git clone [email protected]:jwest80:Learn-git.git 

		$ git clone [email protected]:auditconf/auditconfirmations.git 

	* 

* Basic Snapshotting 

	* git add - Start tracking new file or changes to a file 

		(Adds file to Staging area) 

		* -A : Adds all files being tracked to staging area. 

	* git status - To be commited and New or Modified Files 

		not in staging area. 

	* git diff - Shows differences between files 

		(Opens in vi, type :q to quit) 

	* git commit - Records a snapshot of staging area 

		Example: $git commit -m 'I made some changes' 

		(leaving off the -m will open vim for you to add comments) 

	* reset Head - "unstages" a file or reverts the file to 

		what it was before we started modifying things. 

	* rm - will remove the file from the staging area entirely and 

		from your disk (effectivly deleting it). You can keep it on 

		the disk by using rm --cached. 

	*

	

* Branching and Merging 

	* git branch - Used to List (default), Create, Remove, and 

		Switch Branch Context. 

		* [branchname] : Create a new Branch from last Commit. This 

			is like a bookmark of a snapshot that we can return to 

			at any point. 

		* -d [branchname] : Delete a branch. 

	* git checkout [branchname] - Open/Switch to branch. 

		* -b : Creates a new branch and opens it. 

	* git merge - Merge a branch context into your current branch. For

		more info on merge conflicts go to http://gitref.org/branching/ 

	*

	

* Logs and Tags

	* git log - Shows the commit history or a branch.

		(Opens in vi, type :q to quit)

		* --oneline : Shows a compact version.

		* --graph : Creates a topology graph (can be used with oneline)

		* --decorate : Shows tags and other info (pretty colors)

	* git tag -a [message] - Tags a point in history as important.

		(Always use the -a when tagging to get who,when,why)

		* You can add tag to old commit using the commit SHA

			Example: $ git tag -a v0.1 [SHA]

	*

	

* Sharing and Updating Projects 

	* git remote - Used to List (default), Add, Remove, Fetch, Pull, 

		and Push Remote Repositories. 

		* -v : Show URLs in List 

		* add [alias] [url] : Adds a remote project alias 

		* rm [alias] : Removes a remote project alias 

	* git fetch [alias] - Update from a remote repository 

	* git pull [alias] - Does a "get fetch" followed by a 

		"get merge" (This is the lazy (wo)man's way, and could cause 

		problems) 

	* git push [alias] [branch] - push branches to a remote repository 

	*

	

* Other Tips 

	* Add an alias (Does not seem to working with Windows Version) 

		$ config --global alias.unstage "reset HEAD" 

		(Now you can unstage like this git unstage --[file] instead o

		f git reset HEAD --[file])

	* Turn Coloring On 

		$ git config --global color.ui true 

	*
