Github Commands

• To configure your git:

git config --global user.name "asimniazi63"

git config --global user.email "asimniaz63@gmail.com"

• Create Project Name

mkdir New_Project
cd New_Project

• Initialize Git

git init

• Create/Add New Files:

touch Readme.md

• To check if the file is part of repo:

git status

• Staging: Staged files are files that are ready to be committed to the repository you are working on. You will learn more about commit shortly.

git add Readme.md

The file should be Staged. Let's check the status::

git status

Add another or all files. (Using --all instead of individual filenames will stage all changes (new, modified, and deleted) files.)

• Git commit

git commit -m "Adding two sample files"

Skip staging and directly commit. Why? Answer: Sometimes, when you make small changes, using the staging environment seems like a waste of time. It is possible to commit changes directly, skipping the staging environment. The -a option will automatically stage every changed, already tracked file.

check status in simple way by adding --short

git status --short

commit modified changes

git commit -a -m "Updated Readme.md"
