1 <\/span> Clone an Existing Repo<\/h2>\nThe first command we can start with is git clone<\/strong>, which is a command that connects and download a copy<\/a> from an existing repository to your local machine. Usually, the existing repository is located remotely, such as on GitHub or GitLab.<\/p>\nFirst, go to a repo and click the green dropdown menu that says \u201cCode,\u201d then the copy to clipboard icon next to the GitHub repository URL, which will clone it using the Web URL<\/a>. This is the easiest method and clones using HTTPS:<\/p>\n ![\"Number](\"https:\/\/mastertrend.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/10-Comandos-Basicos-de-Git-para-Empezar.png\" "\\"\\"")
<\/figure>\nThen, run the following command with the URL you just copied:<\/p>\n
git clone<\/span> https:<\/code><\/pre>\n ![\"Repo](\"https:\/\/mastertrend.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/1731397110_892_10-Comandos-Basicos-de-Git-para-Empezar.png\" "\\"\\"")
<\/figure>\nOnce the repo is cloned, you should have a local copy of it on your machine. \ud83d\udc4d<\/p>\nIf you get an error saying "fatal: repository not found," check the URL. If it's a private repo, you may need permissions to access it.<\/section>\n2 <\/span> Create a New Repo<\/h2>\nIf you want to create a new Git repository instead of cloning an existing one, run git init<\/strong>This initializes the repository in the specified directory, giving it a path. So it's ideal for new or untracked projects that you want to start using Git.<\/p>\nFirst, make sure you are in the correct folder before running the command:<\/p>\n
git init<\/code><\/pre>\n ![\"Empty](\"https:\/\/mastertrend.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/1731397111_252_10-Comandos-Basicos-de-Git-para-Empezar.png\" "\\"\\"")
<\/figure>\n3 <\/span> Create a Branch to Collaborate<\/h2>\nA branch in Git is a version of your repository, so multiple people can work on it simultaneously. In other words, it's an independent line of development within a repo. Typically, there are multiple branches in a repo.<\/p>\n
To create a local branch, run the following command:<\/p>\n
git branch branch-name<\/code><\/pre>\nTo list all your branches, run:<\/p>\n
git branch<\/code><\/pre>\nTo delete a branch:<\/p>\n
git branch -d branch-name<\/code><\/pre>\nWhen you delete a branch, it is sometimes necessary to force the deletion. You just have to capitalize the -D<\/strong>, So: git branch -D branch-name<\/strong><\/section>\n4 <\/span> Switching between Branches<\/h2>\nThe command git checkout<\/strong> It is one of the most used, mainly to switch between branches, but it can also be used to review files and commits.<\/p>\nTo switch between branches and check them out in your local directory:<\/p>\n
git checkout branch-name\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\nFor newer versions of git, you can run:<\/p>\n
git switch<\/span> branch-name<\/code><\/pre>\nFor the above commands to work, the branch you are switching to must exist locally, and any changes to your current branch must be committed or saved first.<\/p>\nShortcut command to create and switch branches at the same time: git checkout -b branch-name<\/strong><\/section>\n5 <\/span> Check Git Status<\/h2>\nThis is another common command, which can tell you different information about the current branch, such as whether the current branch is up to date or not, if there is anything left to commit or push, and if there are any files that were modified or deleted.<\/p>\n
git status<\/code><\/pre>\nThis is what the output should look like if there are no changes to be made:<\/p>\n ![\"Git](\"https:\/\/mastertrend.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/1731397111_826_10-Comandos-Basicos-de-Git-para-Empezar.png\" "\\"\\"")
<\/figure>\n6 <\/span> Commit Change Sets<\/h2>\nThis may be the most used Git command. When we're ready to save our work, perhaps after a specific task or issue, we can use git commit<\/strong>This essentially captures a snapshot of the changes currently being prepared in the project.<\/p>\nYou also need to write a short, clear commit message so you and other developers know about the changes. Don't forget to surround it with quotation marks.<\/p>\n
git commit<\/span> -m "confirmation message"<\/span><\/code><\/pre>\nGit commit<\/strong> Just save your changes locally. You still need to push them to a remote repo.<\/section>\n7 <\/span> Undo Changes<\/h2>\n
