Git

Use git to control the versions of your code. Git grabs each modification you make in your code.

In all Linux distros, git is already installed, or if not you can install it.

# Debian based
sudo apt install git
# Gentoo based
sudo emerge -av dev-vcs/git

Edit Configuration file

vim ~/.gitconfig

Check global configuration

username = USERNAME
email = EMAIL@MAIL.ORG

Open new folder and initialize git with the command

$ mkdir newFolder
$ cd newFolder
$ git init
$ touch emptyfile
$ git add emptyfile
$ git commit -m "adding my first empty file"

1. Note: Github.com doesn’t accept login with password from git-command-line. Instead, they recommend using a token.
2. Note: You can use the token instead of your username when asked for in “git push”. Paste your generated token instead of your username. Press enter again to continue.

Using git

$ git diff
$ git add file
$ git commit -m "file modification messagem"
$ git pull # ensure all files from repo are synchronized
$ git push # update / upload files to repository

Don’t forget to configure / create access token in github pages / gitlab, etc…

Install github-cli: useful to create repositories, etc.. without login in into website.

# install golang before continue
# debian based distro
$ sudo apt install github-cli
# Gentoo based distro
$ sudo emerge -av github-cli

Login with github-cli ( gh )

$ gh auth login

It is recommended you save your github token into some environment variable

$ export GH_TOKEN="alisdjasdjçasidjaçsjdaçsokdaçsd"

Monkey prefer to save githuToken in file and encrypt it.

$ gpg --encrypt --sign --armor -r monkey@banana.world githubToken_file.txt

Then, in .gitconfig add the line:

If user have private servers to use they can setup ssh-server and become a git-server.

$ mkdir repository.git # Termination with .git is necessary
$ cd repository.git
$ git init --bare

Then from developer machine you want to clone that repository.

Lets imagine your git-server machine IP is 192.168.100.100 with a user git.

$ git clone git@192.168.100.100:/home/git/repository.git

Install tig to see git history

$ sudo emerge -av tig

Config git alias to work faster with git.

$ git config --global alias <alias> <command>

Useful alias:

[alias]
  co = checkout
  cm = commit -m
  rl = reflog
  pu  = push

Like in Linux, we can set the name we want to the [aliasname]

Find lost files :

$ git fsck --lost-found

Clone missing submodules

$ git submodule update --init --recursive
