2. git init
3. git add .
4. git commit -m "initial commit"
5. git remote add origin remote_repository_URL
6. git remote -v
7. git push -f origin master

Delete Branch

Local:

git branch -d the_local_branch (or use -D to force it)

Remove:

git push origin --delete the_remote_branch

Rename directory

git mv <old name> <new name>

Casesensitive rename: using tmp as a buffer

Delete all commit history of master but keep the current one.

• Checkout git checkout --orphan latest_branch

• Add all the files git add -A

• Commit the changes git commit -am "commit message"

• Delete the branch git branch -D master

• Rename the current branch to master git branch -m master

• Finally, force update your repository git push -f origin master

Print upstream URL

git config --get remote.origin.url

Rmove directory from git and local

git rm -r one-of-the-directories // This deletes from filesystem git commit . -m "Remove duplicated directory" git push origin <your-git-branch> (typically 'master', but not always)

Squash commit

git pull
git checkout <your_branch>
git rebase -i master
git push -f origin <your_branch]>
