## 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.
## Clean up Bloated Repo
> git fsck --full
> git gc --prune=now --aggressive
> git repack
