A git cheat sheet is one of the go-to commands for all the developers. It not only saves developers important time but also makes us feel good to share our work among developer communities.
These are some very handy git commands which I am going to share and it's going to be very fruitful in our daily development life.
Often times we get stuck and can't remember the exact git command for the specific work so here u go with all these obsolete yet very essential cheat sheets.
Here you can download GIT for your machine and start working with it!
Cheat sheet starts here
git initcreates new repo inside the current directory
git init
git statusgives us the status of all the current files whether it has been added or not.
git status
git add .adds up all the files for the next commit.
git add .
in case we want to add only a specific file for the next commit use the below syntax.
git add fileName
git add fileName
git commit -mcommit all local changes
git commit -m "my message goes here"
In case you are new to GIT and want to configure up your email & password follow the below commands.
git config --global user.name "yourName"git config --global email.name "yourEmail.com"
git config --global user.name "yourName"
git config --global email.name "yourEmail.com"
Now you have committed all your changes and want to push your code to the git so before that follow below command in order to tell your local folder that where it need to push the code in the git.
