Toy Repo

This is a temporary repo to teach the Lexos team about basic git.

Important files

• .gitignore
  • all the files/directories that are listed in this file will be ignored by git. At this moment we are only ignoring the .idea folder which contains project specific settings of each developers IDE (PyCharm).
• .git/
  • the folder with all the git information.

Commands

• add
  • add the files that you have edited and want to push to the remote repo
• commit
  • make a local image of the current program
  • kind of like creating a restore point
• pull
  • sync from the remote to local
• push
  • sync from the local to remote
• reset (--soft --hard and undo add)
  • reset your program status to a commit
    • --soft only reset your git info to that restore point (thereby losing all the commits in between)
    • --hard reset all the program, including the git info to a certain commit
    • undo add command
• status
  • show the status of the current git information
• diff
  • show the difference between current and a commit (default is the latest commit)
