Git

Using the Bitbucket code repository with git.

Using Git

Here is a basic overview of how Git works:

1. Create a "repository" (project) with a git hosting tool (like Bitbucket)
2. Copy (or clone) the repository to your local machine

git clone <repoURL>

1. Add a file to your local repo and "commit" (save) the changes

git add <filenname>

1. "Push" your changes to your master branch

git push

1. Make a change to your file with a git hosting tool and commit
2. "Pull" the changes to your local machine

git pull

1. Create a "branch" (version), make a change, commit the change
2. Open a "pull request" (propose changes to the master branch)
3. "Merge" your branch to the master branch

git config --local -l

List your configuration for this repository (in the current directory).

Local setup

Install the git tools: apt-get install git

Initialize your user with:

a name: git config --global user.name "Your Name"

and email: git config --global user.email "user@domain.tld"

Set line endings correctly: git config --global core.autocrlf input

You homedir now has a .gitconfig files with this information

git config -l

List your configuration on user level
