git

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

SSH public key generation

   1 ls ~/.ssh
   2 ssh-keygen # create ~/.ssh/id_rsa and ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub keys

   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

   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

Commit to remote branch

   1 git commit -am 'Message commit xyz ' --all #commit locally

   9

Merge to other branch

   1 git checkout master # merge destination branch 
   2 git pull origin master # sync dest branch
   3 git merge --no-ff B/20130801/BRANCH-ZZZ # merge branch B/20130801/BRANCH-ZZZ to branch master
   4 git pull origin master
   5 git push origin master

   1 git checkout development
   2 git checkout -b feature_branch origin/feature_branch
   3 git add .
   4 git commit -m "msg" # commit in feature branch
   5 git checkout development
   6 git pull origin development
   7 git checkout feature_branch
   8 git merge --no-ff development
   9 git pull origin feature_branch
  10 git push origin feature_branch

Reapply .gitignore

   1 cd <projectFolder>
   2 git rm -r -f --cached .
   3 git add .
   4 git status #check files to be commited

GitFlow

https://datasift.github.io/gitflow/IntroducingGitFlow.html

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
