Git tutorial

 1. How to Push and commit.

1. clone the repository to any folder: 

git clone <copied url>

2. if you have already cloned (some days before) and want to take the latest code in your local:

git pull 

3. if you have added some code in your local folder and want to push that to Github:

1. git status: gives the status of a tracked file. i..e. which is pushed to GitHub, which are modified and which are untracked (new)

 2. git add <filename>  (if you want to push a specific file) (this moves the file to staging area)

3. git add .             (if you want to push all the changes, here '.' represents all the files)

4.  git commit -m "msg you want to type"  (this command move the file to the local .git) 

5. git push origin <branch name>   (this command moves the file to GitHub) (origin is alias name of git URL)

6. git remote add origin <URL of git repo> ( to add origin. now onwards origin is an alias of GitHub URL)

3. for switching it to a new branch.

git checkout <branch name>

git checkout -b <branch name>

5. renaming the branch

git branch -m <oldname>  <new name>

6. renaming the current branch

git branch -m <new name>
