Manual of git commands

1. How to initialize git

   git init

2. How to send to the staging area

   git add <file_name>

   • How to use it cleverly: use git status to check before you commit git add <file 1> <file 2> git commit -m "msg that express something both files have in common"

3. How to commit a change to creat my 1st snapshot

   git commit -m "MEANINFUL MESSSAGE"

   P.s.: Meaninful msg: Why, How, Limitations, Effects

4. How to check in what conceptual areas my files are

   git status

        P.s.: Uncommited, Unstaged, Untracked files

5. Hot to get the history:

   git log

   git log -n <no>

   git log --abbrev-commit

   git log ---help

6. How to compare versions of the same file:

        git diff <commit ID> <commit ID>

       git show <commit ID> <commit ID>

        git show -2 <file name> (to check the last 2 versions of a file)

7. How to create and use a link between local and remote repository

   • Create a link ('bridge')

     git remote add <name4link> <ssh>

     obs.: name4 link is usually the same name as my repositories, but can be anything I like. It is just a name for the link that is being created.

   • Send things from local to your remote repository

     git push

8. How to bring changes from the remote to the local reposiory: git pull

   obs.: examples of whento use - when your local is not sync with the remote. If i`m collaborating or if i change something directly in the remote.

   Moving inside the new branch: git checkout <name new branch>

   Checking for new branchs I need to pull: git fetch
