Git tutorialλ︎

This tutorial will give you a practical guide to using the Git version control tool to managing changes to source code and configuration files in projects. The tutorial also covers collaborating on projects using Github public repositories. You can either read an overview of Git

Setting up Git & Githubλ︎

Creating Git Projectsλ︎

Local Git Workflowλ︎

  • Checking the status - what has changed -- git status, git diff
  • Staging changes - basic add, git add -p, unstaging untracked files, unstaging tracked files, git diff --cached
  • Committing a new version
  • Git log
  • Chapter 7: The local git workflow

Branching & Merging - why do thisλ︎

  • try out code and modifications to design, different algorithms

  • easily discard changes that are not needed - or leave them in a branch so they are not affecting / poluting the main codebase

  • Branching and Merging

  • merging changes

Collaborating with other developers using Git and Githubλ︎

Troubleshooting]λ︎

  • what to do if you loose your head
  • if you really have to change a commit
  • unstage changes

Resourcesλ︎

  • Git submodules

Git local workflow visualisedλ︎

You can quickly get versioning your code with Git, all on your own computer. You do not need to set up a server.

Git and Github workflow visualisedλ︎

To give you a big picture view of how you use Git and Github, here is a visualisation of the workflow for both. The details of this workflow are ocvered in the workshop from Chapter 10: Collaborating with Github onwards.
