Revisions and the Cloud

Practice with git

Cloning The Repository

• git clone [link to repository]

ACP (Add, Commit, Push)

• git status shows what files have changed
• git add . stages new and modified files only
• git commit -m ""them changes" by Thundercat" commits the changes and creates a record of what was changed enclosed in the quotes
• git push origin main this pushes the changes from the local “main” branch to the remote repository named “origin”

_{git automatically gives the name “origin” to the server or cloud location and “master” to the local branch}

What is Version Control?

• A system that records changes to a file or set of files over time so that you can recall specific versions later.
• Can be local, centralized, or distributed

What is cloning in git?

• This clones the source repository or
• Creates a copy of an existing git repository from a particular server
• Copies all versions of all files for a project
• Copies newest version of the project

What is the command to track and stage files?

• git add . or git add filename

What is the command to take a snapshot of your changed files?

• git commit -a or git commit -m "them changes"

What is the command to send your changed files to Github?

• git push origin main
