Basic Git commands

This is important thing in software Development to have knowledge about Basic Git command.

Git	Task	Command
Tell Git who is using	Configure the author name and email address to be used with your commits. Note that Git strips some characters (for example trailing periods) from user.name.	git config –global user.name “manoj s” git config –global user.email smanoj@company.com
Create a new local repository in local	Create new local repo	git init
Check out a repository	Create a working copy of a local repository:	git clone /path/to/repository (C:/myrepo)
	For a remote server, use:	git clone username@host:/path/to/repository git clone https://github.com/manasvi99/RecyclerExampleProject
Add files in the git repo	Add one or more files to staging (index):	git add <filename> git add * git add file1.txt
Commit the files	Commit changes to head (but not yet to the remote repository):	git commit -m “Commit message” git commit -m “ clean up unwanted data”
	Commit any files you’ve added with git add, and also commit any files you’ve changed since then:	git commit -a
Push to repo	Send changes to the master branch of your remote repository:	git push origin master
Check Status	List the files you’ve changed and those you still need to add or commit:	git status
Connect to a remote repository	If you haven’t connected your local repository to a remote server, add the server to be able to push to it:	git remote add origin <server> git remote add origin https://github.com/manasvi99/RecyclerExampleProject
	List all currently configured remote repositories:	git remote -v
Branches	Create a new branch and switch to it:	git checkout -b <branchname> git checkout -b techoceanhub/develop
	Switch from one branch to another:	git checkout <branchname> git checkout techoceanhub/feature
	List all the branches in your repo, and also tell you what branch you’re currently in:	git branch
	Delete the feature branch:	git branch -d <branchname> git branch -d techoceanhub/feature
	Push the branch to your remote repository, so others can use it:	git push origin <branchname> git push origin techoceanhub/feature
	Push all branches to your remote repository:	git push –all origin
	Delete a branch on your remote repository:	git push origin :<branchname> git push origin: techoceanhub/feature
how to take latest Update from the remote repository	Fetch and merge changes on the remote server to your working directory:	git pull
	To merge a different branch into your active branch:	git merge <branchname> if you are on techoceanhub/develop branch and want to merge feature branch in it. git merge techoceanhub/feature
	View all the merge conflicts: View the conflicts against the base file: Preview changes, before merging:	git diff git diff –base <filename> git diff <sourcebranch> <targetbranch>
	After you have manually resolved any conflicts, you mark the changed file:	git add <filename>
Tags	You can use tagging to mark a significant changeset, such as a release:	git tag 1.0.0 <commitID>
	CommitId is the leading characters of the changeset ID, up to 10, but must be unique. Get the ID using:	git log
	Push all tags to remote repository:	git push –tags origin
how to Undo local changes	If you mess up, you can replace the changes in your working tree with the last content in head: Changes already added to the index, as well as new files, will be kept.	git checkout — <filename>
	Instead, to drop all your local changes and commits, fetch the latest history from the server and point your local master branch at it, do this:	git fetch origin git reset –hard origin/master
