Version control system (resume.pdf, resumeFINAL.pdf) - permanent record (series of commits) - time machine (ability to checkout a commit) - parallel universes (branches)
- repository: a regular ol' directory where you've done "git init" or "git clone"
- local repo: the repo on your computer
- remote: a copy of the repo somewhere on the internet (github)
- adding: specifying which files will be going to the next commit
- commiting: creating a snapshot in time of changes to lines on files
- pushing: upload a new commits to your remote repository
- connect a remote: telling a local repo where code should go when you push
git init
git log shows history of commits in current branch
git remote -v shows all remotes (if empty, you don't have a remote)
git status shows the status
git initONCE at the beginning of the project- create a file called index.html and add a bunch of work
git add index.htmlgit commit -m 'this is the message that describes the work'- Do new work. Add/remove lines of code, add/remove files
git add about.htmlgit commit -m 'created the about me page'
- do new work (create, edit, delete lines of code or files)
- git add filenameWithTheWork.js
git commit -m "explain what this change is"
- To have a remote, we need to create a new, empty repository on github
- To do that, https://github.com/new
- Name the repo, provide a description, ignore the readme part, and click "Create Repository".
- Then follow the directions for whether or not you have an existing repo or not.
- For your first push to a remote, do
git push -u origin master - subsequent pushes in that branch name, do
git push
