![]() ![]() If you’ve copied a project from Github, it already has an origin. The default name (also known as an alias) for that remote repo is origin. If you’re using GitHub and you’re pushing code to a GitHub repo that’s stored online, you’re using a remote repo. If you don’t initialize Git, you cannot run any other Git commands within that repo. To initialize Git in a repository (repo), you just need to type the following command. I’ll start with the list of commonly used commands to make it easier for newbies to understand what is possible with Git, then move into the more advanced functionality and best practices. That’s all well and good when you’re working on a one-person team, a hackathon, or a throw-away app, but when stability and maintenance start to become a priority, cleaning up commits, sticking to a branching strategy, and writing coherent commit messages becomes important. ![]() But the average developer probably only uses these three commands 99% of the time: git add -all To keep things practical, I’m basing this list off of the actual Git commands I used over the past week.Īlmost every developer uses Git, and most likely GitHub. Well, here I am years later to compile such a list, and lay out some best practices that even intermediate-advanced developers should find useful. I remember thinking, “Wouldn’t it be nice if there were a list of the most common Git commands along with an explanation as to why they are useful?” Like most newbies, I started out searching StackOverflow for Git commands, then copy-pasting answers, without really understanding what they did. By Sam Corcos Here are all the Git commands I used last week, and what they do.
