Git quick reference

git.txt

• Clone an existing remote repository to local
git clone https://github.com/username/project.git

• If starting from local (not cloning remote repo), initialize repository
git init

• Check status (changes since last commit) (optional)
git status

• Add all changes to staging (next commit). Notice "dot" at the end.
git add .

• Commit changes (create new commit). Text between double quotes is explanatory comment.
git commit -m "first commit"

• If started from local, set remote origin (repository on Github, Bitbucket, Gitlab). Remote repository must exist.
git remote add origin https://github.com/username/project.git
git remote add origin https://bitbucket.org/username/project.git

• If you don't want to be asked for password at every push, set for credential cache
Linux:
git config credential.helper store
Windows:
git config --global credential.helper wincred

• Push (upload) changes to remote origin. Git will ask for login info (user, pass).
git push -u origin master

• See local modifications
git diff
