This page will introduce the most basic uses of the git version control system

Odds are, you already have git installed. If not, you can install it:

• On modern systems that support the apt command, run # apt install -y git

• On older systems that don't support the apt command, run # apt-get install -y git

If you don't have git installed already, run # yum -y install git

0. Go to https://git-scm.com/download, and click the Windows icon.

1. Run the installer

$ git clone user@host-or-ip:path/to/repository.git

$ git clone https://host-or-ip/path/to/repository.git

$ git pull

$ git checkout .

Useful if a file is deleted or overwritten by mistake

Even if a file is added to your local copy of a repository, it won't be added to the git repo automatically. To add it, you need to run this command.

$ git add filename.ext

$ git commit

$ git commit file0.ext file1.ext file2.ext

$ git commit -m "Commit message"

You can combine this with the previous one:

$ git commit -m "Commit message" file0.ext file1.ext file2.ext

$ git push

Changes must be committed for this to go through.
