Team Development with Git-

First step: To initialize the git

$ git init

To share your file with others

Process is of three steps -
1. Select the file 2. Save the file 3. Share the file:

Step1. $ git add file_name 		<-- [to select the file you want to share]

Step2. $ git commit -m "commit message"	<-- [To record/save a selected file with a msg / commit is to save the file / -m : for msg]

Step3. ## Adding a Remote
To add a new remote, use the git remote add command on the terminal, in the directory your repository is stored at.
The git remote add command takes two arguments:
	- [] A remote name, for example, origin
	- [] A remote URL, for example, https://github.com/user/repo.git
	
	## Set a new remote
	$ git remote add remote_name URL
	Example: $ git remote add origin https://github.com/user/repo.git
	
	## Verify new remote
	$ git remote -v
	> origin  https://github.com/user/repo.git (fetch)
	> origin  https://github.com/user/repo.git (push)

	## Now upload files to remote
	$ git push remote_name master	<-- [push is used to upload files to the remote]

  	## Downloading Files from a Remote
  	$ git pull remote_name master			<-- [pull is used for downloading files from remote]

Important Points About Git#

In team development, it is important to clearly recognize the changes you have made and select which changes should be shared with your partners.

You can check if the and where your changes have been made by
$ git status

To see the modified content in the file

$ git diff <-- [ Now you can see the changes/modifications in the files in the git.

To see changes acc to files

$ git log
or 
$ git log -p

Git Stash

Suppose you have made changes into your team project repository and you don't want to push your changes into the main repository (master: develop). In that case, you can use git stash which will keep your changes into a stash and then let you make a new branch or switch to different branch. After switching, you can push all your changes into that branch with git stash apply.

	## To keep all the changes into Stash
	$ git stash

	## To check all the stashes
	$ git stash list

	## To apply your stash
	$ git stash apply
