This document is used to describe or elaborate or include specific notes/references related to your repository. In this repository, the readme gives some important commands and links for starting use of git.
git branch => check available and active branches on local
git branch -r => check available and active branches on remote
git checkout -b newBranchName => create new branch from master
git checkout newBranchName => go to branch newBranchName
git checkout -B newBranchName => go to existing or create new branch newBranchName
git status => check untracked files
git add fileName => add given fileName to staging area
git add -A => add all files from all directories
git add . => add all files from present directory
git commit -m "msg" => create a commit for all files in staging area
If you figured out that you want to change the commit message after it has been committed then type in the following amend command:
<br>git commit --amend
Then you will be prompt to change the commit message, and when you finish editing the message you can quit by typing :wq.
git pull origin branch2 => pull all file references(metadata) from remote branch2 to current local branch
git pull origin => maps metadata of all branches from remote to pulls it to local
git diff => compares all added or committed files with current local files for modification - previous vs current version
git diff fileName => compares added or committed fileName with current version of fileName on local
git remote -v => gives aliases and their associated URLs
git restore <file> => to discard changes in working directory
git stash => stashes untracked local commits in a stack so that remote metadata can be pulled for up to date references
git stash pop => pops out untracked local commits stashed previously
git branch -m <old_name> <new_name> => Rename the local branch to the new name
git push <remote> --delete <old_name> => Delete the old branch on remote - where is, for example, origin
git push <remote> :<old_name> => Or shorter way to delete remote branch [:]
git push <remote> <new_name> => Push the new branch to remote
git push <remote> -u <new_name> => Reset the upstream branch for the new_name local branch
git push <remote> <remote>/<old_name>:refs/heads/<new_name> :<old_name> => In this option, we will push the branch to the remote with the new name while keeping the local name as is
