Help

git - getting started, alternatively read the git book

configure git

• git config --global user.name "Uwe Flechsig"
• git config --global user.email "uwe.flechsig@psi.ch"
• git config --global core.editor emacs
• git config --global alias.br branch
• git config --global alias.co checkout
• git config --global alias.ci commit
• git config --global alias.st status
• git config --global alias.hist log --pretty=format:"%h %ad | %s%d [%an]" --graph --date=short
• git config --list

fetch the repository (clone a repository - like cvs checkout)- git will create in the current directory a subdirectory phase

• git clone https://flechsig@github.com/flechsig/phase.git with account to be able to push
• git clone https://github.com/flechsig/phase.git anonymous (no push)
• git add file.c
• git commit -m 'new file'
• git status
• git diff
• git rm filename
• git mv file_from file_to
• git log
• git remote -v shows the original repository
• git remote set-url origin https://flechsig@github.com/flechsig/phase.git sets the personal url if I first checked out with anonymous or want to switch to ssh
• git fetch
• git push
• gitk helloworld.c shows the history of a file
