Basic Git

Move to the directory containing the project.

git status

Add this folder (or just any dir)

git add .

History:

git log

Commits

Add current changes to current config.

git add .

Make a comment:

git commit -m "Created service"

Type out a message:

git commit

Push your stuff out:

git push

Add a single line:

git log --oneline

Get recent changes:

git pull

New Project

git init

New Machines

git config --global user.email "malinfreeborn@tutamail.com"

git config --global user.name "Malin Freeborn"

Branches

To make a new branch, make sure you're up to date, then:

git checkout -b [branchname]

Check otu all branches with

git branch -a

Add the new branch to a git:

git push origin [branchname]

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.

Subtree

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
