Git Commands You Need To Know


Git Commands You Need To Know

The most popular version control program is called Git. Git keeps track of the changes you make to files so that you have a record of what has been done and may go back to particular versions if necessary. Git also facilitates cooperation by enabling the merging of several contributors' edits into a single repository.

Therefore, Git will be helpful for you whether you develop code that only you will view or work in a team.

Git Commands

git init -> Initializes git in any folder/repository (Needs only if you are not cloning a repository)

git clone -> https://github.com/<your-user-name>/<repo-name> -> Clones the repository in your local system.

git status -> Shows the current status of the repository.

git add <file-name> -> Adds specific file to staging area

git diff / git whatchanged -> Gives the recent changes in the repository

git add . -> Adds all changed files to staging area

git commit -m "<your-message>" -> Gives a message to your current files and takes their snapshot to commit history

git log -> Shows the commit history

git revert <commit-token> -> Discards the specific commit (Deletes the committed files but keeps a trace in history)

git reset --soft HEAD~<no-of-commits-to-revert> -> Undo's the commit and brings the changes back in the staging area

git restore --staged <file> -> Brings back the specific file in the changes made section which is added to the staging area.

git remote -v -> Shows all the remote connection

git remote add origin https://github.com/<your-user-name>/<repo-name> -> adds your forked branch as the origin (No need to do if the repo is cloned)

git remote add upstream https://github.com/<parent-user-name>/<repo-name> -> Adds parent repository as upstream.

git pull origin -> fetches the changes made in origin to your local system

git pull upstream -> fetches the changes made in origin to your local system

git branch <branch-name> -> Creates a branch with branch-name

git checkout <branch-name> -> This now allows you to make changes in the specified branch

git checkout -b <branch-name> -> This is combination of git branch and git checkout

git merge <branch-name> -> merges its children branch-name into its parent branch.

git branch -d <branch-name> -> Deletes the specified branch. And if the changes in the branch-name are not merged in the parent branch then the changes are deleted.

git push origin <branch-name> -> Pushes the recent commits to the new branch
