How to use git... so far

Upload a file

You need to perform a couple of steps:

• First add the file to make it part of the git (test):

    git add filename
  

• Then commit to it with a comment:

    git commit -m "This is my comment"
  

• Then push the file to git:

    git push
  

At this point you will be asked for your username and password.

Upload a file in a folder (and the folder itself).

Keep your assets (pictures and other media) separate in a folder named assets. Then add them to the git.

git add folder/media.png

And then follow through with the same commands:

git commint -m "A new media file in the assets folder"
git push

And it's done.

Make aliases of common commands

If you fed up typing all this crap, you can make shortcuts or aliases by doint:

You can do this once per session, like:

git config --global alias.ci commit

This makes ci a shortcut to commit.

Or you can dit the .gitconfig file in your $HOME directory (that implies home dir, not just the git folder).

Add:

[alias]
co = checkout
ci = commit
st = status
br = branch
hist = log --pretty=format:\"%h %ad | %s%d [%an]\" --graph --date=short
type = cat-file -t
dump = cat-file -p

This is a good start, I will add more as I use this more.
