GIT/GITHUB

GIT for source code management.

To see where is GIT installed:

$ which git

To get the version of GIT:

$ git --version

Configuration:

Three places where GIT stores configuration information

• System -    /etc/gitconfig
• User -      ~/.gitconfig
• Project -  my_project/.git/config

Update configuration:

For System:  $ git config  --system

For User:  $ git config --global

For project:

$ git config

$ git config --global user.name "Mohan Donthabhaktuni"

$ git config --global user.email "mohand.bi@outlook.com"

To view the configuration details:

$ git config user.name   (shows the user name)

To view all the configuration details:

$ git config --list

These configuration details get stored in the .gitconfig file under the users home directory

Setup Auto-completion:

$ ~ mohand$ cd ~

$ ~ mohand$ curl -OL https://githum.com/git/git/raw/master/contrib/completion/git-completion.bash

$ mv ~/git-completion.bash ~/.git-completion.bash

Then add the file to the user's profile

Create a directory for project and initialize:

$ git init

$ pwd

/Users/mohand/Documents/python/.git

$ ls -l
