Using Git

Cloning an existing repository

Create a directory for which you will create repositories

mkdir ~/repos

cd ~/repos

Next we need to clone a repository from the URL of a repository

git clone https://github.com/eragasa/pyflamestk.git

For each file you want to add to the repository

git add <filename/directory>

To see which file will be committed you can use the git status command

git status

First, you need to commit the changes to the local repository

git commit -m '<message>'

To update an existing local repository from the master repository on github, run the following command

git pull

Second, you need to push the changes to remote master repository

git push

In some cases, you will have really messed up development. In this case, you can reset from the current master branch

git fetch origin

git reset --hard origin/master

git clean -f
