Git Cheatsheet for beginners
H

Hi there, I am a software programmer with lots of interests in learning new age technologies. I enjoy writing clean and crisp code.

Hello there, thank you for visiting my first blog, here I have attempted to create a quick and a basic cheatsheet of github for beginners.

Commands are as follows:

  • git init
    This command is to initialize an empty repository inside a directory. 
    This is usually the first command that is fired while using git
    
  • git status

    This command displays all status of all files in a particular repository.
    
  • git add

    • git add .
    • git add
This command is used to add files into the staging area in git.
There are two possible ways to use this command,
1. using . Eg: git add . This will add all the files.
2. using filename Eg: git add index.html This will add only index.html file
  • git commit -m "message" ``` This command is used to commit all the files There are two possible ways to use this command,
  • using . Eg: git add . This will add all the files.
  • using filename Eg: git add index.html This will add only index.html file ```

  • git config

This command is used to configure the user details
git config --global user.email "youremail@yourdomain.com"
git config --global user.email "youremail@yourdomain.com"
  • git remote add

    This command is used when the code 
    from local repository is pushed to remote repository.
    
  • git push

    This command is used when push the code 
    from local repository to remote repository.
    

I hope this helps in understanding git! Thank you!!
