Basic Commands

by Caleb Espinoza G.
$ git init

● To create a new local repository.


● It does all of the initial setup of a
repository.
● Running this command creates a hidden
.git directory
$ git init
$ git status

● It will display a lot of information depending on


the state of your files the working directory, and
the repository.

● It shows us about new files that have been created


in the Working Directory that Git hasn't started
tracking, yet
$ git status
$ git clone

This command:

● takes the path to an existing repository


● by default will create a directory with the same
name as the repository that's being cloned
● will create the new repository inside of the
current working directory
$ git clone
$ git add

● This command is used to move files from the Working


Directory to the Staging Index.
● This command:

* takes a space-separated list of file names


* alternatively, the period . can be used in place
of a list of files to tell Git to add the current
directory (and all nested files)
$ git add .
$ git commit -m “Message”

● The git commit command takes files from the Staging


Index and saves them in the repository.
$ git log

● This command displays information about the


existing commits.

the SHA
the author
the date
and the message
$ git log
$ git show fdf5493

● This command will show only one commit.


● And by default, git show displays:

the commit
the author
the date
the commit message
the patch information
$ git checkout

● This command allows us to move through our commits


or our branches.
● git checkout branch_name //moves through branches
● git checkout fdf5493 //moves through commits
● git checkout -b branch_name //create a new branch
and move towards it.
$ git checkout
$ git branch

● The git branch command is used to interact with


Git's branches.
● It can be used to:

* list all branch names in the repository


* create new branches
* delete branches
$ git branch

● Git branch branch_name //Create a new branch


● git branch -d branch_name //Delete a branch
$ git branch
$ git reset

● This command deletes the commits.

● Git reset --soft //Don’t touch our Working Area

● Git reset --mixed //Delete the Staging Area and


don’t touch the Working Area

● Git reset --hard //Delete all in the commit


absolutely
$ git remote

● It’s lets you create, view, and delete connections


to remote repositories.

● $ git remote add <name> <url> //add a new remote repo

● $ git remote remove <name> //remove a remote repo

● $ git remote -v //print the list of bookmarked repository names


$ git pull

● It first runs git fetch which downloads content


from the specified remote repository.

● Then a git merge is executed to merge the remote


content refs and heads into a new local merge
commit.

● $ git pull origin remote_branch_name


$ git pull
Before After
$ git push

● It’s used to publish an upload local changes to a


central repository and share the modifications with
remote team members.

● $ git push origin remote_branch_name


$ git push
Before After
$ git help

This command helps us to know how git works or some


its commands.
