# Getting Started
|
|
|
|
## Instantiating Repositories
|
|
|
|
- Create a new repository by instantiating it through:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
git init
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Copy an existing project by cloning the repository through:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
git clone <url>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Central Repos
|
|
|
|
- To instantiate a central repository a `--bare` flag is required.
|
|
- Bare repositories don't allow file editing or committing changes.
|
|
- Create a bare repo with:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
git init --bare project-name.git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Instantiate workflow with clone
|
|
|
|
1. Create a project in your user namespace.
|
|
- Choose to import from 'Any Repo by URL' and use <https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/training-examples.git>.
|
|
1. Create a '`Workspace`' directory in your home directory.
|
|
1. Clone the '`training-examples`' project.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
mkdir ~/workspace
|
|
cd ~/workspace
|
|
|
|
git clone git@gitlab.example.com:<username>/training-examples.git
|
|
cd training-examples
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Git concepts
|
|
|
|
**Untracked files**
|
|
|
|
New files that Git has not been told to track previously.
|
|
|
|
**Working area**
|
|
|
|
Files that have been modified but are not committed.
|
|
|
|
**Staging area**
|
|
|
|
Modified files that have been marked to go in the next commit.
|
|
|
|
## Committing Workflow
|
|
|
|
1. Edit '`edit_this_file.rb`' in '`training-examples`'
|
|
1. See it listed as a changed file (working area)
|
|
1. View the differences
|
|
1. Stage the file
|
|
1. Commit
|
|
1. Push the commit to the remote
|
|
1. View the Git log
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
# Edit `edit_this_file.rb`
|
|
git status
|
|
git diff
|
|
git add <file>
|
|
git commit -m 'My change'
|
|
git push origin master
|
|
git log
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Note
|
|
|
|
- `git fetch` vs `git pull`
|
|
- Pull is `git fetch` + `git merge`
|
