Git for Idiots (and Java developers)

• dangoldin 19y ago
  If anyone wants to try out Github.com, this is the way to do it. The example works perfectly and definitely great to start out. I've played around with github a few times and this is definitely the best tutorial I've seen.

  This tutorial really covers just the bare minimum. I would have liked to see a mention of git diff for seeing changes. Since they didn't include it I'll list some examples here git diff master..branchname # see changes between a branch and master git diff origin..master # show changes that are in your local repository but not in the source git diff # show modified files that are not part of a commit, ie. before running git add git diff --cached # changes about to be comitted There are many other things you can do with git diff but these scenarios are the most common for me.

  You can also not branch if you work on one thing at a time. Commit locally then merge with the central repository.

  Not sure who is upmodding this. I haven't heard of Git until today, but it (unsurprisingly) took me only five seconds to find the following link, http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/tutorial.html http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/tutorial.htm... ...which seems apropos and shithead-free.
