Git is a version-control system for tracking changes in computer files and coordinating work on those files among multiple people. It is primarily used for source-code management in software development, but it can be used to keep track of changes in any set of files. As a distributed revision-control system, it is aimed at speed, data integrity, and support for distributed, non-linear workflows.
To install git for the current user, run:
$ guix package -i git
To create a new git repository, in the current directory, do:
$ git init
A message should confirm the creation of the repository:
Initialized empty Git repository in /root/test/.git/
To clone an existing git repository, do:
$ git clone https://github.com/MunGell/awesome-for-beginners.git
This will create a new folder awesome-for-beginners. To go to the new folder:
$ cd awesome-for-beginners
After you’ve made some changes, commit them to the git repository, to permanently save the current version.
To add all changed, files to the commit, do:
$ git add .
To add individual, changed files to the commit, do:
$ git add file-name
To see all files, that will be added to the commit, do:
$ git status
If you like to clear the staging area, and start again, do:
$ git reset
To commit the changes you’ve made, make sure that you’ve added them to the staging area with git add . and reviewed all changes with git status. Now go ahead, and commit (save) the changes:
$ git commit -m "file: revised instructions"
It’s good practice, to add short but clear commit messages.
Create ~/.ssh/config and define all domains, and keys you’d like to use.
host git.domain1.com
HostName git.domain1.com
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/key1
User git
host git.domain2.com
HostName git.domain2.com
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/key2
User git
