- Note: Terminal refers to a Linux/Unix/ shell terminal.
- All commands below are supposed to be run in a Unix (bash or zsh) shell in your machine or remotely.
| command | description |
|---|---|
git remote -v -a |
Run in a Terminal in local git repository. Shows the connected remote (usually on github) |
alias gitdiff="git difftool --tool=vimdiff |
add this to your .aliases or .bashrc (in aristotle)/.zshrc (on mac) to see a diff side by side. You can also run the command directly in a terminal so: git difftool --tool=vimdiff file1 file2 etc. |
git add -u |
update all changes done in local directory instead of doing git add file1 file2..., useful especially when one moves or deletes a number of files |
git add newFile |
if you create a new source code file, then you need to add the new file it to thr git system (done locally in your own repository) |
git fetch --all |
git fetch all branches from the remote (GitHub usually in our case) so that subsequent git checkout remote-branch-name will actually get the remote branch and not create a new one, so always do this before checking (switching) to a remote branch. |
git checkout branch-name |
switch to the existing branch (always do git fetch --all before hand) from remote (GitHub). usually should be followed by git pull |
git pull |
pull the current branch from the remote |
