What is "version control"

Version control is a system that records


changes to a file or set of files over time
so that you can recall specific versions
later
Git: the three states
● Commited (stored in local database)
● Modified (file changed but not commited to database)
● Staged (modified file is marked to go into the next
commit snapshot)
Git installation
● Windows: http://www.git-scm.com
● Linux:
● apt-get install git
● yum install git
● Already installed in cygwin
Git config
● Using Git Bash (command line):
$ git config --global user.name "Name Surname"
$ git config --global user.email [email protected]
● Using Git GUI:
Getting git repository
● To clone existing repository from server2:
$ git clone [email protected]:/usr/local/cryo3d/cryo3d.git
● To start version controlling edited existing (new) files (tracking
and commiting to local repository):
$ git add filename [start tracking new/edited filename]
$ git add . (git add -A) [start tracking all changed/new files]
$ git commit -m 'Commit message: what changes were introduced'
[save changes to the local repository]
Recording changes to the repository
Recording changes to the repository
(GUI version)
Recording changes to the
repository: status
$ git status [Check status of your project]
Recording changes to the
repository: status
$ git status [Check status of your project]
Recording changes to the
repository: tracking your files
$ git add [Begin tracking a new file
(directory)]
Recording changes to the
repository: staging modified files
$ git add [Stage the file, add this
content to the next commit]
Recording changes to the
repository: ignoring files
● If we do not want to track automatically
generated files (e.g. Log files, build files etc)
● .gitignore file
Viewing staged and unstaged
changes
$ git diff [what changed but not yet staged]
Viewing staged and unstaged
changes - GUI
Recording changes to the
repository: commiting your changes
$ git commit [commit your changes to
the local repository]
Viewing the commit history
$ git log
Working with remotes
$ git fetch [fetch all the info you don't
have from remote repository, no automatical
merging]
$ git merge [automatically merge data from
remote with the your repository data]
$ git pull [fetch and merge automatically]
pull = fetch + merge
$ git push origin master [push your version
to the server]
Working with remotes - GUI
Pushing to already changed remote
● Git won't allow to push to the remote which is
ahead of your version: first need to fetch
