Start
a repo on GitHub
2.
Make
a README.md file
3.
Open

Ls
-la is for showing hidden file à not working for me ????
6.
Make
some changes to README file, in terminal git status à shows all the changes on the file
7.
To
add all changes update to the folder à git add . (the dot . means all
changes to be added)
8.
Add
a new file index.html, in terminal à git commit -m “title of commit” -m
“description of commit”
9.
Then
git push origin master
10.
****Initial
a repo in local text editor à git init
11.
After
use git add . etc, when pushing, go to github, create an empty samename repo, copy
SSH address, back to terminal, git remote add origin gitxxxx (the ssh address)
12.
Check
if fetched the remote repo à git remote –v
13.
Now
you can push à git push origin master OR git push -u origin master, then
later on for git push, just use “git push” alone
14.
***
switch to a new branch à git checkout -b new-branch-descriptive-name
15.
à git branch : display all branches, with the current branch
start with a “*” à git checkout is to switch between branches
16.
After
modified in a certain branch, git status à git add . ( or git add theModifiedFileName)
à git commit -m “title” -m
“description”
17.
Before

you like) àgit diff theBranchName
18.
Back
to theMordifiedBranch, git status à git add . à git commit -m “title” if needed, then à git push à copy the prompted line of command
redo the push branch à do pull request on github àdelete the branch
19.
Back
to terminal à git checkout master àgit pull origin master to pull all the updates from github to
local terminal à git branch -d theBranchNameThatNeedToBeDeleted, to delete
the branch
