Git Basics

Git is an version controller tool developed by legend Linus Torvalds, which helps Developer tracking changes in any set of files, sometimes its a life saver, believe me

Learn Git fundamentals in this short blog OR use it as a
cheatsheet for future references.

First initialize the present local directory

git init

Write some code

Stage the code to commit

• Stage all files

git add .

• Stage a specfic file

git add file.html

• Unstage a file

$ git restore — staged name.txt

Now commit the staged code

with a commit message for future references

git commit -m "First Git commit"

We can check commited code status by

```
git status
```

Check history of your commits

```
git log
```

Upload files to your Github Account

Now connect your Github Account and upload your files.

• First, we need to create a Github repository

• Copy the HTTPS link of your repository

• Now add remote access to your GitHub repository

git remote add origin https://github.com/sheoranharis/sheoranharis.git

**origin** is name of the link to your repo

• Create a branch by which you will push your code to the repo

git checkout -b mybranch

• We need remote access to our Github Account

  First, generate a SSH Key -
  Github Docs

  then add this SSH key to your Github account -
  Github Docs

OR

If you are using VS code, just login into VScode by your Github account
and you are good to go.

Push your code to Github using Git

git push origin mybranch

We are pushing our code by mybranch to origin

Check your Github account to see changes
