#git #devops #opensource #programming

Hello and Good Morning ☕
I know I had not been writing lately, but now I am back on my writing spree 🎉
Today we are going to see some awesome git commands, that every developer MUST know. Look carefully when I stress on the word MUST. Knowing these commands would definitely make your time easier. 😉
So let's start.

Initialize local git repository

git init

Add a particular file to a repository

git add git_commands.md

Add all uncommitted files to the repository

git add .

Set Repository

git config --global user.name 'mursalfk' git config --global user.email 'mursalfurqan@gmail.com'

Add message to your commit

git commit -m "You can add a message to your commit like this"

See commit history

git log

Add remote Name/URL

git remote add origin 'https://github.com/mursalfk/mursalfk.git'

Push your changes to remote repository

git push origin master

Clone any repository

git clone 'https://github.com/mursalfk/mursalfk.git'

Update the current working directory

git pull origin master

Tired already? Come on... It's not that long 😉

Check difference in between commits

git diff HEAD~1 HEAD

Download files from any repository

git fetch origin master

Create a new branch

git branch branchName

Create a new branch inside a folder

git branch branchFolder/branchName

Switch to another branch

git checkout branchName

Switch to another branch present in another folder

git checkout branchFolder/branchName

Create and checkout to the new branch at the same time

git checkout -b branchName

Create and checkout to the new branch present in another folder at the same time

git checkout branchFolder/branchName

Merge to a new branch

git merge master
