Lazy basic use of git 
This script works on Windows PowerShell or Linux bash, as long as you have a git binary in the path.
# let's assume you want to create a repo from scratch # create the git repo directory mkdir my-awesome-repo cd my-awesome-repo # initiate the repo data # the command creates a .git folder where git stores the metadata # for the repo git init # create a branch # when you clone a repo, the default branch is usually called master git checkout -b master # create a dummy file touch my-awesome-script.perl # add the file to be tracked by git # this file is added to the next commit git add my-awesome-script.perl # "git commit" aggregates all the added or removed files into a new commit # and adds a commit description # if you get an error at this step, which is related to the account, # you need to set the following: # git config --global user.name "My Name" # git config --global user.email my-email@example.com git commit -m "This script is awesome" # all the commands before are related to the local part # to progress, we need to have a git server, where we have a repo # add a git remote: a mapping between an alias(how you want to call # a repo) and an uri for a repo # the uri type can be https/git/svn # when you clone a repo, the default remote is called origin git remote add myrepo https://my-awesome-git-server.server/my-awesome-repo.git # before this step, all what you did was on your local # operating system # git push will upload your changes to the git server # defined by the remote name and to the branch you specify # when you execute "git push", this usually means that # you are executing "git push origin master" # the repo name is "myrepo" and "master" is the branch name git push myrepo master
That's all, folks!
