# SSH key generation and setup

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "[email protected]" # Generate SSH key pair


cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub # View and copy your SSH public key
# Add this key to GitHub SSH keys at https://github.com/settings/keys
ssh -T [email protected] # Test SSH connection to GitHub

# Personal Access Token (PAT) generation (manual steps on GitHub website)


# 1. Go to GitHub → Settings → Developer settings → Personal access tokens → Tokens
(classic)
# 2. Generate new token with required scopes (e.g., repo)
# 3. Copy the token (you won't see it again)

# Using PAT with HTTPS Git commands


git clone https://github.com/username/repository.git # Clone repo using HTTPS URL
# When prompted for username, enter GitHub username
# When prompted for password, enter your Personal Access Token (PAT)

# Git CLI common commands


nano filename.txt # Open a file with nano editor
git add . # Stage all changes in current directory
git commit -m "Fix post-merge issues" # Commit changes with message
git push origin branchname # Push branch to remote origin
git push -u origin branchname # Push and set upstream tracking for branch
git branch branchname # Create a new branch
git branch -d branchname # Delete a branch locally
git checkout branchname # Switch to a branch
git log --oneline --graph --decorate -5 # View last 5 commits graphically

# Explanation of git log switches:


# --oneline: Shows each commit in a single line summary
# --graph: Displays an ASCII graph of the branch and merge history
# --decorate: Adds branch names, tags, and refs to the commits displayed

git pull origin branchname # Pull latest changes from remote branch

# Explanation of terms:
# origin: Default name for the remote repository (usually GitHub repo URL)
# main: Default primary branch in the repository (used to be 'master')

# Creating and pushing a directory in a branch:


mkdir new_directory # Create a new directory in the branch
git add new_directory # Stage the new directory (empty directories are not
tracked)
git commit -m "Add new directory" # Commit the directory addition
git push origin branchname # Push the directory creation to remote

# Creating and pushing files inside the directory:


nano new_directory/file1.txt # Create/edit file inside directory
git add new_directory/file1.txt # Stage the new file
git commit -m "Add file1.txt in new_directory" # Commit the new file
git push origin branchname # Push changes to remote
