Git Status

Files in the working directory:	listed under "Changes not staged for commit"	Files in the staging area:	Listed under "Changes to be committed"	Files in the local repo:	Nothing to commit (working directory clean)

Git Diagram

Working Directory <-> Staging

Working Directory -> git add -> Staging

Working Directory <- git checkout/merge <- Staging

Working Directory <- git diff -> Staging

Making changes

Add file to stage	git add fileName
Add all files to stage	git add .
Add changes in specific file	git add -p <file>

Evaluate changes

diff of what is changed but not staged

git diff --

Branches

List all branches	git branch
Add a branch	git branch NameOfNewBranch
Switch to specified branch in working directory	git checkout -- BranchName
Join specified [from name] branch into your current branch (the one you are on currently)	git merge -- fromName
show all commits in the current branch’s history	git log

Staging <-> Local Repo

Staging -> git commit -> Local Repo

Staging <- git reset <- Local Repo

Staging <- git diff --staged -> Local Repo

Staging <- git checkout HEAD filename <- Local Repo

(git checkout HEAD filename command rolls back all changes that have been made to filename since the last commit)

Committing to remote

Move all staged files to git remote repo	git commit -m 'message'
Move all staged files to git remote repo	git commit -am 'message'

Reverting changes

Unstage a file while retaining the changes in working directory	git reset fileName
diff of what is staged but not yet commited	git diff --staged

Start Project

Create Project	git init directoryName
Download remote repo	git cline ulrName

local <-> remote

local -> git push -> remote

local <- git pull/fetch <- remote

Remote to local

Git fetch	Bring down all branches from Git remote
Git pull	Fetch and merge commits from remote branch

Local to remote

git push

Transmit local branch commits to the remote repository branch

Checking the Status of a Git Repo

Git status:
Helps - show the user the files they would commit by running git commit and the files they could commit by running git add before running git commit

Git diff filename:
Displays the differences between the working directory and the staging area in one specific file
git diff hello.txt

Git log:
Shows all the commit logs for a project -
A 40-character code, called a SHA, that uniquely identifies the commit.
The commit author
The date and time of the commit
The commit message
