# Starting

# New Git
Start a git in a folder:
> mkdir *project* && cd *project*
> git init
Make a file explaining what the project does:
> vim README.md
> git add README.md
Then make the initial commit, explaining the change you just made:
> git commit
# Working
Once you make a change to some file ("file.sh"), add it and make a commit explaining it.
> git add file.sh
> git commit -m"change file.sh"
Check your history:
> git log
# Remotes
If you want to keep a copy on a public site such as Gitlab, so others can see it, then go there and create a blank project (no readme, nothing).
Find the address you want and add it as a remote:
> git remote add *gitlab* *https://gitlab.com/username/projectx*
Tell git you're pushing the branch "master" to the remote repo "origin":
> git push -u master origin
If someone makes a change on the remote, pull it down with:
> git pull
# Branches
A branch is a full copy of the project to test additional ideas.
You can make a new branch called 'featurez' like this:
> git branch *featurez*
Have a look at all your branches:
> git branch
Switch to your new branch:
> git checkout *featurez*
And if your changes are rubbish, checkout the "master" branch again, then delete "featurez":
> git branch -D *featurez*
Or if it's a good branch, push it to the remote:
> git push *origin* *featurez*
## Merging
Once you like the feature, merge it into the main branch. Switch to master then merge it:
> git merge *featurez*
and delete `featurez` as you've already merged it:
> git branch -d featurez
# Subtree
## Pulling another git repo into a subtree
> git subtree add -P config git@gitlab.com:bindrpg/config.git master
## Pulling a Subtree from an existing git
The project has subdirectories sub-1,sub-2,sub-3. The first should be its own repository, but should also retain its own history.
First, we extract its history as an independent item, and make that into a seprate branch.
> git subtree split --prefix=sub-1 -b sub
If you want something a few directories deep, you can use `--prefix=sub-1/dir-2/dir-3
Then go and create a new git somewhere else:
> cd ..;mkdir sub-1;cd sub-1;git init --bare
Then go back to your initial git repo, and do the following:
git push ../subtest sub:master
Finally, you can clone this repo from your original.
> git clone ../subtest
# Tricks
## Delete All History
> git checkout --orphan temp
> git add -A
> git commit -am "release the commits!"
> git branch -D master
> git branch -m master
> git push -f origin master
Gitlab requires more changes, such as going to `settings > repository` and switching the main branch, then stripping protection.
## Clean up Bloated Repo
> git fsck --full
> git gc --prune=now --aggressive
> git repack
## Find Binary Blobs
