====== Git Notes ======

I was using Git to backup "panelDrive." This is located at c:\users\dan\git. Issuing "git remote -v" will show that these are connected to <nowiki>remote repository "ssh://git@stopstogo.com/home/git/repo.git".</nowiki>

    * Sets up email to be used each time pushing/committing
  * ''git config <nowiki>--global</nowiki> user.name "yourusername"''
    * Sets up the user name to be used each time pushing/committing, so it won't be prompted every time.
  * ''git init''
    * Be inside of a directory that you want to set up as a local Git repository. Creates a *.git* directory with information in it
  * ''git status''
    * lists any files that are changed/not included in local Git repository
  * ''git add''
    * Adds files to local Git repository. By name or wild card
  * ''git commit -m "some message"''
    * Commits file changes to local Git repository. Adds revision message.
  * ''git remote add origin <nowiki>ssh://git@stopstogo.com/home/git/repo.git</nowiki>''
    * Adds a remote Git repository to current local Git repository
  * ''git remote -v''
    * Shows remotes for current repository
  * ''git push -u origin master''
    * Pushes files from "master" branch of local Git repository to remote repository
  * ''git log''
  * ''git --help''
  * ''git config --bool core.bare true'' Make a bare remote repository so source can be re-pushed to it.

===== How to create new branch =====

  * ''git branch "branch name"'' - Create new branch in local repository
  * ''git checkout "branch name"'' - Local content becomes this branch

===== How to merge branch back to "master =====

  * First checkout "master", then ''git merge "branch name"''
  * ''git push -u origin "master"'' - push merged content to remote
  * No longer need the branch, so we delete it
   * ''git branch -d "branch name"''
   * Delete from remote also
    * ''git push origin --delete "branch name"''

===== Git TAGs =====

Tagging in Git refers to creating specific points in history for your repository/data.

  - To Mark release points for your code/data (stable release point)
  - To create historic restore points

  * Checkout the branch where you want to create the tag
    * ''git checkout "branch name"''
  * Create tag with some name
    * ''git tag "Version 1.0"'' - Lightweight tag
    * ''git tag -a "v1.1" -m "tag for release version 1.1"'' - Stored as complete object
    * ''git show v1.0''
    * ''git tag -l "v1.*"''
  * Push tags to remote
    * GitHub shows "releases" for tags"
    * ''git push origin v1.0''
    * ''git push --tags'' - push all tags
    * ''git tag --delete v1.0''
    * ''git push origin -d v1.0'' - delete this tag from remote
  * Checkout tags in git
    * We cannot checkout tags in git
    * We can create a branch from a tag and checkout the branch
    * ''git checkout -b "branch name" "tag name"''
  * Create a tag from some past commit
    * ''git tag "tag name" "reference of commit"'' - the checksum or just a part of it.
    * ''git push --tags'' - pushes all tags to remote repository
