Git Condensed

1. Clone a repository from Github

   $ git clone url

2. Create a branch for your additions

   $ git checkout -b "new-feature"

3. Make changes

4. "Stage" your changes so git tracks them

   $ git add file1 file2 OR $ git add -A

5. Commit your changes (locally, just on your computer)

   $ git commit -m "description of changes"

6. Push those changes to the Github repository

   $ git push origin branch-name

   • "origin" refers to the url of the repository, which is the same as the url you cloned from

7. Repeat steps 3 to 6 until finished with your additions

   • $ git status often, maybe after every command when you first start

If you're working with other people:

1. After finalizing your additions, make a "pull request" from branch-name to base: master

   

2. Assign someone to review your code

3. Go back to the steps above if changes need to be made

4. Merge

   

5. Hope there are no merge conflicts

6. Done!
