Git for Noobs

Clone | add | commit | push Remote Repositories

• Login to Github account.
• Go to the repository or create one.
• Coply the link of the repository from the Clone or download dropdown .
• Go to the directory where the repository to be placed and open terminal if in linux or git bash if in windows ( git bash for windows needs to be already installed).
• Then use git clone command to clone the repository.

$ git clone url

This will download the entire repository from github. Enter the downloaded repository folder. Change or Edit anything necessary. Then stage folder/files for commit. To add specific files/folder to commit use the following command:

$ git add fileName

Or all the changes can be added at once with:

$ git add . // git add -a also do the work

Now selected file/folders are ready for commit. To commit:

$ git commit -m "Commit Message" //-m is the message flag

Two previous commands can be put together like this:

$ git commit -a -m "Commit Message" //staging all changes and then commit

Now we can push it to remote our repository:

$ git push -u Branch Name //to push it to any branch
$ git push -u origin master //to merge the changes with master branch
