Starting Git Example

Git Example

#Create a new directory
mkdir test

#cd into that new directory
cd test

#look for all files including hidden
ls -la

#run git init
git init

#you should now see .git directory
ls -la 

#create a new file
touch project.txt

#git status, shows what is in staging and what is untracked
git status

#project.txt is untracked, so we need to track it and put into staging, by using git add
git add project.txt

#see the changed status
git status

#now lets commit all our new changes, the flag -m says I want to add a message, if you don't use the -m it will start
#an editor for the message.
git commit -m 'this is the message for the commit'
