Two ways to get a repository

Clone someone else's - git clone

Make your own - git init

 

git add *.c (add all C source files in the current folder)

git add \*.c (add all C source files in the current folder and all subfolders)

git add . (add everything, be careful)

 

git commit -a

git commit -m <comment>

 

git commit --amend

 

git rm <file> ---- removes <file> from Git and deletes it as well

git rm --cached <file> leaves it hanging in the directory, it's just gone from git

 

git mv <src> <dst>

 

git log

git log <path>

git diff

git diff --cached

 

edit .gitignore --- the files you don't want to save

git checkout branch_a --- switch to branch a

git checkout -b branch_b --- create branch b and switch to b
