git

Git is a distributed version control and source code management (SCM) system.

SSH public key generation

   1 ls ~/.ssh
   2 ssh-keygen -t rsa # create ~/.ssh/id_rsa and ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub keys
   3 cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub # shows key to be sent to the git server admin
   4

Config

   1 git config --global user.name "John Doe"
   2 git config --global user.email johndoe@example.com
   3 git config --list

Local config for repository

   1 git config user.name "John Doe"
   2 git config user.email johndoe@example.com
   3 git config --local --list
   4 cat .git/config # [user]
   5

Create repository

   1 cd <project>
   2 git init #create folder .git
   3 touch README.md
   4 touch .gitignore
   5 git add . 
   6 git commit -m 'Initial commit'
   7 git remote add origin git@gitserver:/opt/git/project.git # setup origin for repository
   8 git push origin master

Branch creation based on current branch

   1 git branch #show current branch

   5

Commit to remote branch

   1 git commit -am 'Message commit xyz ' --all #commit locally
   2 git pull origin B/20130801/BRANCH-ZZZ # sync with remote branch
   3 # fix conflicts and commit conflict resolution
   4 git push origin B/20130801/BRANCH-ZZZ # send changes to remote branch
   5 git commit -am 'Message commit asdf ' --all #commit locally
   6 git pull --rebase origin B/20130801/BRANCH-ZZZ # sync with remote branch with rebase

Join several commits not pushed

Use the git rebase.

   1 git rebase -i origin/master

Pick (choose) several commits and put them all with the "squash" commit that usually is the most recent one. It may be cancelled using git rebase --abort.

Difference between remote and local branch

   1 git diff origin/master..master

GitFlow

Introducing GitFlow

New development (new features, non-emergency bug fixes) are built in feature branches:

Feature branches are branched off of the develop branch, and finished features and fixes are merged back into the develop branch when they’re ready for release

When it is time to make a release, a release branch is created off of develop:

The code in the release branch is deployed onto a suitable test environment, tested, and any problems are fixed directly in the release branch. This deploy -> test -> fix -> redeploy -> retest cycle continues until you’re happy that the release is good enough to release to customers.

When the release is finished, the release branch is merged into master and into develop too, to make sure that any changes made in the release branch aren’t accidentally lost by new development.

The master branch tracks released code only. The only commits to master are merges from release branches and hotfix branches.

Hotfix branches are used to create emergency fixes:

They are branched directly from a tagged release in the master branch, and when finished are merged back into both master and develop to make sure that the hotfix isn’t accidentally lost when the next regular release occurs.

Create local branch from commit in current branch

   1 git checkout -b test <commit sha1>

Show differences in added/staged files with git add

   1 git add filex
   2 git status
   3 git diff --staged
   4 git diff --cached

Stash

   1 git stash
   2 git stash list
   3 git stash show -p > ~/Documents/stash_diff.txt
   4 less ~/Documents/stash_diff.txt
   5 git stash pop 
   6 git stash clear # clear all stashes
   7

Update old commit message already pushed

   1 # mark as reword the commit to update
   2 git rebase -i HEAD~2
   3 reword 9b5ca7af9  Old commit
   4 pick 7331d8be5 [prefix] good commit with prefix
   5 # will show new console to add the missing prefix
   6 # [prefix] Old commit
   7 git log 
   8 # replace pick with reword each commit that needs to be changed 
   9 git push origin develop --force

Merge squash feature branch into current branch

   1 git checkout targetBranch
   2 git merge --squash featureBranch

Set upstream branch

   1 # when pushing for the first time use -u 
   2 git push -u origin branchx 
   3 # set up branch with no upstream 
   4 git branch --set-upstream-to origin feature/new-stuff 
   5 git status
   6 git pull origin 
   7 git push origin

Rename remote branch

   1 git checkout old-branch
   2 git branch -m new-branch
   3 git push origin -u new-branch
   4 git push origin --delete old-branch
