GIT Version Control System

GIT is one of the best systems for version control. I don’t want talk about benefits or other things now. I tell you how to work with GIT and do really useful things with it. Very simple installation and a list of frequently used commands:







Install GIT: (You see It’s very easy)

1
aptitude update ; aptitude install git-core

Create new git repository:

2
git init

Add all changes to repository:

3
git add .

Consolidation of all changes:

4
git commit -a

Consolidation of all changes with commit message:

5
git commit -a -m "Commit Message"

Revert last commit:

6
git reset --soft HEAD^

Current working directory status:

7
git status

Diff since last commit:

8
git diff

Add link to remote repository:

9
git remote add origin ssh://id@gitcher/opt/repository

Remove link to remote repository:

10
git remote rm origin

Get all new versions from source(remote repository):

11
git pull origin master

Push all new changes to source(remote repository):

12
git push origin master

Create new working tree(branch):

13
git branch branch_name

Change between branches:

14
git checkout branch_name

Merge braches:

15
git merge branch_name

Delete branch:

16
git branch -d branch_name

Remove branch force:

17
git branch -D branch_name





And more complicated examples
Create local working space and push all changes to remote repository:
