Local Repo: The folder on your computer with the (hidden) .git folder. This is where you will make changes to the files.
Remote Repo: The Github server that is accessed through the website.
Staging: Preparing files before commit, can be changed easily
Commit: Packaged files with message, hard to change contents (that's why check before committing)
git init - initialize the local git repo
git config - manage user account and authentication
git remote add origin - creates a connection to the server based on the git file
origin -> name of connection (usually named as origin)
xxxxxxxxxxxx.git -> get link from github (green "Code" button) to establish connection
git remove origin - removes the connection "origin"
git status - sees the status of the files (staged or not)
git add - adds file to staging
git rm --staged <file name> - removes the file from staging
git commit -m "test message" - commits (packages) the updated files with message
Note: remember to add message that describes the changes
git push origin master - pushes commit to master branch (irreversible!)
git pull origin master - pulls files from master to get latest version of files
Remember to pull when starting and before committing to prevent clashing errors
git pull origin masterto get latest version- Make necessary changes
- git pull again to make sure it will not clash
git addthe changed files- check then
git commit -mwith relevant message - if all is fine,
git push origin masterto push changes to master branch - updated files should be reflected on Github
If there are any commit errors or clashing files, make a backup and try to resolve it. Try not to work on the same part of a file with another person if not the version of the file will be desynced
If there is any big issues with the remote repo, tell me (isaac) and i will try to fix or rollback if needed.
There are other tricks like using .gitignore files or separate branches it's optional and i'm lazy to explain so go google
