Re: What is the minimal GIT setup?

[jmlynesjr]

A while back I posted a mass of code and it was suggested that I post it on GitHub. After researching what a github was, I created the following cheat sheet for myself. Maybe it will help you.

Do one-time when git is installed for the first time
----------------------------------------------------
$ git config --global user.name "Your Name Comes Here"
$ git config --global user.email [e-mail]


Create a new local and remote repository
----------------------------------------
Execute from the directory containing your source files

$ git init                    creates a subdirectory and builds reposi
+tory in it
$ git add .                    add all files to repository
$ git status                    verify staged files
$ git commit                    commit staged files
$ git remote add origin https://github.com/jmlynesjr/remote-repository
+-name    create remote repository
$ git push -u origin master            upload to remote repository

Update an existing repository
-----------------------------
Execute from directory containing your source files

$ git add file1                           add new or modified files

$ git status                    verify files were added

$ git commit                    commit to local repository

$ git push origin master            push to remote repository
username
password

Additional Commands
-------------------

$ git ls-files                                  list all files in the 
+repository

$ git rm filename                               remove a file from the
+ repository
