Git Commands | Linux Commands

 

Command line git commands:

Check the installed version of git by using the command below:

git --version

Initialize a new repository

Create a directory to store your project in. To do this, use the following command:

mkdir my-git-repo

Now navigate to the directory you created.

cd my-git-repo

Next, initialize a new repository by using the following command:

git init

The git init command creates a new Git repository. In our case, it transformed the current directory into a Git repository. It can also be used to convert an existing, unversioned project to a Git repository or to initialize a new, empty repository.

Executing git init creates a .git subdirectory in the current working directory, which contains all of the necessary Git metadata for the new repository. This metadata includes subdirectories for objects, refs, and template files. A HEAD file is also created which points to the currently checked out commit.

If you've already run git init on a project directory containing a .git subdirectory, you can safely run git init again on the same project directory. The operation is what we call idempotent; running it again doesn't override an existing .git configuration.

Configure Git

Git uses a username to associate commits with an identity. It does this by using the git config command. To set Git username use the following command:

git config --global user.name "Name"

Replace Name with your name. Any future commits you push to GitHub from the command line will now be represented by this name. You can use git config to even change the name associated with your Git commits. This will only affect future commits and won't change the name used for past commits.

Let's set your email address to associate it with your Git commits.

git config --global user.email "user@example.com"

Replace user@example.com with your email-id. Any future commits you now push to GitHub will be associated with this email address. You can even use git config to change the user email associated with your Git commits.

Git Operations

Let's now create a text file named README. We will be using the nano editor for this.

nano README

Type any text within the file, or you can use the following text:

This is my first repository.

Save the file by pressing Ctrl-o, Enter key, and Ctrl-x.

Git is now aware of the files in the project. We can check the status using the following command:

git status

This command displays the status of the working tree. It also shows changes that have been staged, changes that haven't been staged, and files that aren't tracked by Git.

5cf139a07416b65b.png

You can now see the file you created, README, under the section Untracked files. Git isn't tracking the files yet. To track the files, we have to commit these files by adding them to the staging area.

Now let's add the file to the staging area using the following command:

git add README

This command adds changes from the working tree to the staging area i.e., it gathers and prepares files for Git before committing them. In other words, it updates the index with the current content found in the working tree to prepare the content that's staged for the next commit.

You can now view the status of the working tree using the command: git status. This now shows the file README in green i.e., the file is now in the staging area and yet to be committed.

60729e998d1fc32d.png

However, git add doesn't affect the repository in any serious way because changes are not actually recorded until you commit them.

Let's now commit the changes. A Git commit is equivalent to the term "Save".

Commit the changes using the following command:

git commit

This now opens an editor, asking you to type a commit message. Every commit has an associated commit message. A commit message is a log message from the user describing the changes.

Enter the commit message of your choice or you can use the following text:

This is my first commit!

Once you have entered the commit message, save it by pressing Ctrl-o and Enter key. To exit click Ctrl-x.

The git commit command captures a snapshot of the project's currently staged changes i.e., it stores the current contents of the index in a new commit along with the commit message.

Let's now re-edit the file again to understand the process better. Open the file README using nano editor.

nano README

Now add another line of description for your repository below the earlier entered line. Add the description of your choice or you can use the following text:

A repository is a location where all the files of a particular project are stored.

Save and exit the editor by pressing Ctrl-o, Enter key, and Ctrl-x.

Now, let's repeat the previous process. As mentioned earlier, you can always check the status of your repository by using:

git status

To understand the difference, compare with the earlier scenario where you added the new file to the repository.

6c368d6fe0393c80.png

Git tracks the changes and displays that the file has been modified. You can view the changes made to file using the following command:

git diff README

You can see the differences between the older file and the new file. New additions are denoted by green-colored text and a + sign at the start of the line. Any replacements/removal are denoted by text in red-colored text and a - sign at the start of the line.

Now, we will add these changes to the staging area.

git add README

View the status of the repository using the following command:

git status

Git now shows the same file in green-colored text. This means the changes are staged and ready to be committed.

Let's commit the file now by entering the commit message with the command itself, unlike the previous commit.

git commit -m "This is my second commit."

The command git commit with -m flag takes the commit message, too. This is different to the command without flag, where you had to type the commit message within the editor. If multiple -m flags are given to the command, it concatenates the values as separate paragraphs.

To view all the commits use the following command:

git log

Git log command shows the commit history of the repository. It shows all the commits on the repository represented by a unique commit ID at the top of each commit. It also shows the author, date, and time and the commit message associated with the commits.

You also have various options to limit the output of this command. The output can be filtered based on the last number of commits, author, commit message, etc.

Congratulations!

Congrats! You've successfully installed the Git, initialized a repository, and performed basic Git operations. Now that you know how to do this, it will be easier for you and your team to work on a huge project with multiple functionalities and modules

Tips to buy a Laptop - Top 3 Laptops in your budget in 2021

  1. A smaller screen means better portability.  Most laptops come in screen sizes that range from 11 to 17 inches. The entire system is sized to fit the display. That means smaller notebooks are lighter and more compact, and larger ones are bulkier. If you don't move the laptop much, a 15-inch model is fine. But if you plan to use the laptop on your lap or carry it around, a model with a 13- or 14-inch screen, like the  Dell XPS 13 , may provide the best balance between screen space and portability. Children under 12 will find it easier to handle a model with an 11.6- or 12.5-inch display.  Get a 17-inch laptop only if it's going to stay on your desk. 2. Get a resolution of at least 1080p.  If you can afford one (and they are available even for under $400), get a laptop with at least a  1920 x 1080 screen resolution , which is sometimes referred to as 1080 or "full HD" resolution. That number of pixels makes it easier to read web pages without scrolling an...

Nine Things to Check While Choosing A Cloud Service Provider

  As more and more IT systems are outsourced, zeroing in the best cloud providers is critical to long-term success. The market is already vast, with different brands offering large numbers of services. Apart from the big providers like Microsoft, Amazon, and Google, there are also smaller niche players who provide bespoke services. With too many choices to opt from, you must put down the selection and procurement process appropriate as per the needs. The Right Time to Select a Cloud Service Provider It is significant to understand the requirements of a business before choosing a cloud service provider. Clarifying the specific needs and minimum expectations in advance while assessing providers ensures that they are compared against the requirement checklist and not against their competitors. It is a faster way to narrow down the list of providers.  With more clarity on the requirements such as technical, service, security, data governance and service management, you will be b...
