Section 2 - Summary

Git allows users to track changes to files in a repository. It initializes a repository with "git init" and stages files for commits with "git add". Users can view the status of changes, commit staged files with messages, and skip staging files entirely with "git commit -am". History is viewed with "git log" and specific commits with "git show". Files can be removed, restored, or moved within the repository.

Initializing a repository
git init

Staging files
git add file1.js # Stages a single file
git add file1.js file2.js # Stages multiple files
git add *.js # Stages with a pattern
git add . # Stages the current directory and all its content

Viewing the status


git status # Full status
git status -s # Short status

git commit -m “Message” # Commits with a one-line message
git commit # Opens the default editor to type a long message

git rm file1.js # Removes from working directory and staging area
git rm --cached file1.js # Removes from staging area only

git diff # Shows unstaged changes
git diff --staged # Shows staged changes
git diff --cached # Same as the above

Viewing the history

git show 921a2ff # Shows the given commit

git show HEAD~2 # Two steps before the last commit
git show HEAD:file.js # Shows the version of file.js stored in the last commit

Unstaging files (undoing git add)


git restore --staged file.js # Copies the last version of file.js from repo to index

Discarding local changes


git restore file.js # Copies file.js from index to working directory
git restore file1.js file2.js # Restores multiple files in working directory
