Summary
Git is a distributed version control system that helps developers track changes in their code, collaborate efficiently, and manage different versions of a project. It allows users to create branches for new features or fixes, merge changes, and revert to previous versions if needed. Git operates locally, but it can sync with remote repositories like GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket for team collaboration. With features like commits, pull requests, and conflict resolution, Git provides a flexible and powerful way to manage source code in software development.
General
Common Tasks
Add New BitBucket Remote to Existing Local Repo
If you already have an existing local repo but would like to get it on BitBucket, you may need to do this after creating the BitBucket repo:
git remote add origin [email protected]:djl09h/repo_name.git git push --set-upstream origin master
Update Remote Origin
Useful if you say, migrated a repo from bitbucket -> github.
git remote set-url origin [email protected]:fsudave/repo_name.git
Check status of the current repo
git status
Pull in latest changes from contributors
git pull
After you make changes to files in your git repo
git add . git commit -m "what did you change?" git push -u origin master
Diff between local head and your uncommitted changes
git diff <filename>
Discard uncommited changes
git checkout -- filename
Discard ALL uncommitted changes
git reset --hard HEAD
gitignore
Remove files from repo after adding to .gitignore
Sometimes you commit a repo but forgot to add certain files to your .gitignore. If you've already committed, you can remove those file you want to ignore from your repo, but keep the local copy of them. Here's how:
git rm --cached -r {file}
Migrate BitBucket -> GitHub
This is the process to migrate a repo from BitBucket to GitHub:
for repo in repo1 repo2 repo3 do
git clone --mirror https://bitbucket.org/USERNAME/$repo.git cd $repo.git git push --mirror https://github.com/USERNAME/$repo.git cd .. rm -rf $repo.git
done
