Git /ɡɪt/
"A silly, incompetent,
stupid, annoying or childish person"

What's in store for us?
What is Git?

GIT ORIGIN STORY
Linus Torvalds created Git in 2005

Introduction to GitHub, Open Source and Tech Article

Windows User ??
https://git-scm.com/download/win
Well, if its LINUX - here you go
UBUNTU: sudo apt-get install git
OR
FEDORA: sudo yum install git
Ohh, Or is it MacOS !

Installation Guide

What to do once Git is installed
FOR FIRST TIME USERS??
Excuse me, Can I get your ID?
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "your@email.com"
Color Preferences
git config --global color.ui auto
Ummm.... Are we good to proceed now ?
git config --list

Introduction to version Control
"Git is an example of Version Control"
WHAT IS VERSION CONTROL
Version Control is a system that
records changes to a file or a set of
files over time so that you can recall
specific versions later

Revert files, Revert Project Compare

CONCLUSION
Obviously, Let's Learn
Git !!!

Is Git the only Version Control System
available in this world ?
No. Surely not

BUT WHY IS
EVERYONE
BEHIND GIT?

The Bigger Picture
Uses Cases and Reason to use it

Git might feel difficult at
first, but once you learn it,
you never want to go
back to anything less
flexible and powerful
Ahh. So many issues
are here. Fed up
Arey yaar, let's switch to
GUIs. Why do we waste
time in using Git
Who invented this, when
its of no use. Why can't
people just invent good
things in this world

Still Find Git
CLI hard to
use ??
https://desktop.github.com/

A git repository is a directory /
folder that stores files, source
codes and basically a collection of
things that can be tracked and a
history can be maintained of "Who
made what changes & when"
Don't confuse a folder with a repository
"A repository is a folder that can track changes"

Untracked Staged Modified
Committed
Tracked
You Modify, Create,
Edit your files here

Committed
Tracked
You stage the files, adding
snapshots to staging area
git add
Add Files

Committed
Tracked
You commit which
permanently stores the
snapshot to the Git Directory
git commit
Add Files
Commit

Committed
Tracked
If you modify (optional) your
file, then ??
Add Files
Commit
Edit

Committed
Tracked
So the cycle goes on..
Add Files
Commit
Edit
Stage file for commit

Git
Repositories 2
REMOTE REPOSITORY
Generally stored outside of your isolated
local system, usually on a remote
server. It's especially useful when
working in teams
- this is the place where you can share
your project code, see other people's
code and integrate it into your local
version of the project, and also push
your changes to the remote repository.
1
LOCAL REPOSITORY
A repository stored on your own
computer, where you can work on
the local version of your project.

Centralised De-Centralised
or Distributed

The Three Stages
Untracked files refer to
files that are not in the
staging area and not in
the latest snapshot.
The current version of
the modified file has
been proposed by you
to commit.
2
STAGED
1
UNTRACKED
3
COMMITED
Means that the
changes to data
have been stored in
the database.

Installation Guide

To initialize a repository, Git creates a hidden directory called .git.
That directory stores all of the objects and refs that Git uses and
creates as a part of your project's history.
This hidden .git directory is what separates a regular directory
from a Git repository.
git init

The git add command adds new or changed files in your working
directory to the Git staging area.
git add is an important command - without it, no git commit would
ever do anything.
git add
git add .
git add <file-name> git add <file-1> <file-2> <file-3>

git commit
git commit -m "Descriptive message"
git commit git commit --amend
Creates a commit, which is like a snapshot of your repository.
These commits are snapshots of your entire repository at specific
times.
You should make new commits often, based around logical units
of change.

The git clone command is used to create a copy of a specific
repository or branch within a repository.
When you clone a repository, you don't get one file, like you may
in other centralized version control systems. By cloning with Git,
you get the entire repository - all files, all branches, and all
commits.
Cloning a repository is typically only done once, at the beginning
of your interaction with a project.
git clone
origina
l
cloned

git clone [url]
Clone (download) a repository that already exists on GitHub, including all of the
files, branches, and commits.
git clone --mirror
Clone a repository but without the ability to edit any of the files. This includes the
refs, or branches. You may want to use this if you are trying to create a secondary
copy of a repository on a separate remote and you want to match all of the branches.
git clone --branch <branch-name> <repository-link>
Clone only a single branch

git push
git push -u origin [branch]
git push --force git push --all
Uploads all local branch commits to the corresponding remote
branch.
Updates the remote branch with local commits. It is one of the
four commands in Git that prompts interaction with the remote
repository. You can also think of git push as update or publish.

Owner: XYZ
Repo A
Origin is the default name given to
the original remote repository that
you clone, from where you want to
pull and push changes
XYZ
Owner:
ABCD
Repo K
Remote: origin

Open Discussion
What is Open
Source ?

Open Source is all about Collaboration,
rather than Competition

But.. Contributing
to Open Source?

Why should I contribute?
Contributing to open source can be a rewarding way to learn,
teach, and build experience in just about any skill you can
imagine.
● Improve existing skills
● Meet people who are interested in similar things
● Find mentors and teach others
● It’s empowering to be able to make changes, even small ones
