I do realize some of the commands were hidden behind my face-cam so I wrote a list of them here for your reference! ⌨ Common GitHub Commands ⌨ To create a new repository locally: git init To add files to staging area: git add . OR git add ~filename~ To check status of staging area: git status To commit new changes: git commit -m "commit message" To create a new branch: git checkout -b ~branch name~ To switch between branches: git checkout ~branch name~ To merge branches together: git merge ~branch name~ To add a remote repository: git remote add ~remote name~ ~yourremoteurl~ To pull changes from a remote repository: git pull ~remote name~ ~branch name~ To push changes to a remote repository: git push ~remote name~ ~branch name~

Usually process is: Fork -> Clone Fork -> Make feature branch in Fork -> do work and then commit -> (Possibly) Checkout master and pull with --rebase if anyone else has made commits and then rebase your feature branch -> Commit and create pull request across forks (from your feature branch to the appropriate branch on main repo)

@frroossst4267 3 жыл бұрын
@@deepanshuchg It syncs your remote repo with the one on your local device. For example, if someone added a new file perhaps your team member and you do not have that particular file on your local device you will need to pull and rebase to get that file on your local machine only then will you be able to push a new commit to a remote repo

@sancrosanct5070 2 жыл бұрын
Honestly you did pretty damn nice. The explanation was top notch. I was worried you weren't going to address conflicts because I actually deleted the test repository I made watching the video then made a new one using every commands and slowly understanding the uses of each and how changes in CMD affect the file in github. Now I understand pretty much all you said. I'll have to learn about pull requests more though because they confuse me but all in all pretty solid. 10/10 would recommend.

I found this very helpful and informative. I am new to Git and GitHub so it explained a lot. Just a couple of notes from a newbie. As you know, at times when you had the two windows side-by-side and your image in the lower right corner, it covered part of the command line window. You did pop up what you were typing as an overlay but it wasn't quite the same. Not as easy to follow and understand as when I could see the entire command line window. Later in the video, I'm not sure if you sped up a bit or my mind slowed down, but I was having a harder time keeping up in the section on branching and merging. But, I can go back and watch again. I liked your style and your step-by-step approach. Really helpful.
