Git cheat sheet

gistfile1.txt

Clone another's repo, branch and merge

#Ask to be made a "contributor" so you can commit directly to their repo
git clone [email protected]:calebsmith/fn.py.git
# Can work as normal on the master branch, *or* create a branch (if feature/bug fix is mostly orthogonal)


Creating branches

git checkout -b mybranchname
#....work
git add .
git commit -m 'added feature x'
git push origin mybranchname
# when ready to merge in and share with everyone on the team
git checkout master
git pull origin master
git merge mybranchname
git push origin master


Work on and see your teammate's branches

#After they have committed and pushed their branch with (git push origin branchname)
# You are currently on master
git checkout -b branchname
git pull origin branchname
# Now you have their code. can merge in if desired with:
git checkout master
git pull origin master
git merge branchname
# It is merged, let's update the upstream for everyone
git push origin master


Update feature branch with upstream changes (My teammate changed master, my branch was made off of an old master)


git checkout master
git pull origin master
git checkout mybranchname
git merge master
git push origin mybranchname
