Git installs as a normal package on Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install git
Configuring Git user is an optional step:
git config --global user.email "you@example.com" git config --global user.name "Your Name"
Type the following command to create an empty repository wherever your code is:
cd ~ git init
Now all the initialization is done. Add something to the repository:
git add www commit -m "first commit"
The basic Git commands are:
| List files in the repository | git ls-files |
| Undo local changes | git checkout <filename> |
| List changed files those you need to commit | git status <directory> |
| Commit changes | git commit –m “message” <directory> |
| Show commit history for a branch | git log -3 master.. |
| Show files in a commit | git diff-tree –no-commit-id –name-only -r <commit> |
| Disabling SSL cert check. | git config —global http.sslVerify «false» |
| Delete the most recent commit, keeping the work you’ve done | git reset –soft HEAD~1 |
| Delete the most recent commit, destroying the work you’ve done | git reset –hard HEAD~1 |
| View the change history of a file | gitk [filename] gitk –follow [filename] |
| Viewing Unpushed Git Commits | git log origin/master..HEAD |
| List of files to be pushed | git diff –stat –cached [remote/branch] |
| Show both local and remote branches | git branch -a |
| Show remote branches | git branch -r |
| Publish a local branch | git push -u origin : |
| Show the remote address of a repo | git remote -v |
| Apply a patch | git apply –ignore-space-change –ignore-whitespace patch.diff |
Probably one of the most interesting git commands is cherry-pick:
Git visual tools:
sudo apt-get install qgit sudo apt-get install melt
