Git Cheat Sheet

Set user details:

>  git config --local user.name "Martin" 
>  git config --local user.email "martin@test.com" 

Store Credentials Locally

> git config --global credential.helper 'store --file ~/.my-credentials'

Remove Local Credentials

> git config credential.helper store

Initialise (local) repo, add a file and commit:

>  git init 
>  git add my-file 
>  git commit -m "Created the file" 

To add all files in current directory:

>  git add -A

Connect to remote GitHub and push the local Git repo up in GitHub:

>  git remote add origin https://github.com/mjnurse/git-test.git 
>  git push origin master 

Pull remote GitHub to local Git:

>  git pull origin master

Create a local Git repo as a clone of a GitHub repo:

>  git clone https://github.com/mjnurse/git-test.git . 

Create a development branch and switch to (checkout) the development branch code to current directory:

>  git branch feature-x 
>  git checkout feature-x 

Confirm we are now working on the branch feature-x:

>  git branch 

Refresh local Git (master branch) from GitHub:

>  git checkout master 
>  git pull origin master 

Merge Master into development branch:

>  git checkout feature-x 
>  git merge master 

Push development branch up into GitHub (also creating branch in GitHub):

>  git push --set-upstream origin feature-x
