README
*The git commands & workflows you need to know to work with git and automate your regular commands.*
## Initialization
```sh
# paste this in your terminal to change your current working directory to the project directory
cd your_project_path
# initialize git
git init
```
## Commands
⚡️ The **repetitive** commands that I (and everyone else) use regularly.
```sh
# connect the remote GitHub repo with your local project
git remote add origin [github-repo-url]
# see untracked files
git status
# add all untracked files to the staging area
git add .
# commit the tracked files of the staging area
git commit -m "commit-msg"
# push all the changes to the GitHub
git push -u origin master
```
🏗 **Git Setup** if you have never used git before.
```sh
# configure git with your github username
git config --global user.name "your_github_username"
# configure git with your github email (email you used to sign up on GitHub)
git config --global user.email "your_email@whatever.com"
```
🎩 **Clone** a repository in your computer.
```sh
# clone a repo
git clone [repo_url]
```
🌲 The git commands you need to know to *work* with **branches**.
```sh
# list all branches
git branch
# create a new branch
git branch [branch_name]
# checkout to the new branch
git checkout [branch_name]
# OR
# create AND checkout to the new branch
git checkout -b [branch_name]
# pushing the new branch on GitHub
git push origin [branch_name]
# delete a branch locally
git branch -d [branch_name]
# delete a branch on GitHub
git push origin -d [branch_name]
# pulling changes from some other branch
git pull origin [branch_name]
# merge a branch with the current active branch
git merge [branch_name]
# merge a branch to some defined branch
git merge [source_branch] [target_branch]
```
📚 **Stashing** untracked changes — It saves all the *new untracked changes* and rewind your repo to the last commit.
```sh
# stash the untracked changes
git stash
# pop an existing stack
git stash apply stash@{stash_number}
# list all stashes
git stash list
# delete all saved stashes
git stash clear
```
🍒 **Pulling** all the new changes from the remote repository on GitHub
```sh
# pull changes from master branch
git pull origin master
# pulling changes from some other branch
git pull origin [branch_name]
```
🎯 Keep your GitHub forked repo in **sync** with the original repository.
```sh
# STEP #1: show URLs of remote repositories when listing your current remote connections
git remote -v
# STEP #2: add upstream
git remote add upstream [source-repo-url]
# STEP #3: fetching all the new changes from the main repository
git fetch upstream
# STEP #4: merging the new changes from the original repo to your forked local repo
git merge upstream/master
# STEP #5: pushing the new changes of the forked local repo to the GitHub
git push origin master
```
` Note: ` Replace master with main if your primary branch is `main`.
## Workflows
Open your `.zshrc` or `.bashrc` file. It is located in your Home directory. Paste the following shellcode there.
```sh
# Keep your GitHub forked repo in sync with the original repository with master as the primary branch
function fetchremotems() {
git fetch upstream &&
git merge upstream/master &&
git push origin master
}
# Keep your GitHub forked repo in sync with the original repository with main as the primary branch
function fetchremotemn() {
git fetch upstream &&
git merge upstream/main &&
git push origin main
}
# create new branch and checkout to it
function gcb() {
git checkout -b "${1}"
}
# checkout to a branch
function gch() {
git checkout "${1}"
}
# push changes to another branch
function gbp() {
git push origin "${1}"
}
# add, commit, push changes to github
function gacp() {
git add . &&
git commit -m "${1}" &&
git push
}
# aliases
alias gi='git init'
alias gs='git status'
alias ga='git add '
alias gaa='git add .'
alias gc='git commit -m '
alias gp='git push'
alias gra='git remote add origin '
alias gpm='git push -u origin master'
# create YOUR own git workflows
function [functionName]() {
# commands to execute when function is called
# if there are more than one commands, use && between them
# to use the first output from the terminal, use "${1}"
}
```
### 🚀 Usage
Fetching changes from the original repo to your forked repo.
```sh
cd your_project_path
# do this only once in every forked local repo to add upstream
git remote add upstream [source-repo-url]
# write the following in the terminal – primary branch: master – whenever you need to fetch the changes
fetchremotems
# write the following in the terminal – primary branch: main – whenever you need to fetch the changes
fetchremotemn
```
Usage of the rest of the workflows.
```sh
# To create a new branch and also to checkout to it
gcb [branch_name]
# To checkout to an existing branch
gch [branch_name]
# To push changes to another branch
gbp [branch_name]
# To add, commit and push changes to the github
gacp "commit-msg"
# initialize git
gi
# check status
gs
# stage untracked file
ga [file_name]
# stage all untracked files
gaa
# commit the changes
gc "commit-msg"
# connect remote repo to the local repo
gra [repo-link]
# push changes to master
gpm
```
