How To GIT

Daily work routine

Setup see below

Changes to code

Basic idea: github contains master version

1. use git-bash (app installed locally, opens shell)
   • get to local directory (e.g. C:\work\GIT\RsdkRevenueAnalysis):
     • go to default dir: cd
     • show current dir: pwd
     • go to git dir (linux style: / not \ etc)
   • show status of local repository:
     • git status
2. always begin with pulling code from git web repository
   • git pull
3. work on file
   • overwrite changed file locally
4. when done update local file(s)
   • git add 'file name' (or: git add --all)
   • git commit --message " 'description of change' "
5. upload to git web repository
   • git push

View changes

1. go to https://github.com/, sign in
2. go to repository
3. click on comment added when submitting

One time effort to set up

Set up github account (on github repository on the web)

1. go to https://github.com/
2. enter mail address, "sign up for github"
3. follow form:
   • email address
   • password
   • user name
4. verify account
5. submit launch code
6. complete:
   • 2-5 members
   • student
   • collaborative coding
   • choose free

Install github client (on local machine)

1. download git for windows from https://git-scm.com/downloads
2. install with following selections:
   • destination: (do not change)
   • components: (do not change)
   • start menu: (do not change)
   • use notepad++ as git's default editor
   • initial branche name: let git decide
   • use git from gitbash only
   • use bundled ssh
   • use openSSL
   • checkout windows style
   • use mintty
   • fast-forward or merge
   • git credential manager
   • enable file system caching
   • disable experimental (none selected)
3. open git bash
4. type git: installation was successful if a list of commands is shown
5. in windows explorer, create c:\work\GIT
6. in git bash, browse to c:/work/GIT using linux commands (slash instead of backslash!!):
   • pwd: show current dir ("print working directory")
   • ls: directory content listing (like windows: dir)
   • cd: change directory (like windows: cd)
     • cd ..: one directory up (with blank!)
     • cd NAME: change to directory NAME

Get repository (from github on the web)
