New Git
Start a git:
git init
Add whatever's in the folder.
git add .
Then make the initial commit:
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
Get the url of your git remote and add it, with the name "origin":
git remove add origin git@gitlab.com:FirstBloodRPG/first-blood.git
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
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
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.
