Git is a distributed version control and source code management (SCM) system.

[[http://git-scm.com/]] 

== SSH public key generation ==
 * ls ~/.ssh
 * ssh-keygen # create ~/.ssh/id_rsa and ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub keys
 * cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub # shows key to be sent to the git server admin

== Config ==
 * git config --global user.name "John Doe"
 * git config --global user.email johndoe@example.com
 * git config --list


== Create repository ==
 * cd <project>
 * git init #create folder .git
 * touch README.md
 * touch .gitignore
 * git add . 
 * git commit -m 'Initial commit'
 * git remote add origin git@gitserver:/opt/git/project.git # setup origin for repository
 * git push origin master

Edit .gitignore
#for Java
 * *.jar
 * *.war
 * *.ear
 * *.zip

Sample .gitignore
{{{
*~
.metadata
*.class
*.jar
*.war 
*.ear 
*.zip
target/
}}}

== Clone repository ==
 * git clone git@git.server.net:repository.git # by ssh
 * git clone https://git.server.net/repository.git #by https
 * cd repository

== Branch creation based on current branch ==
 * git branch #show current branch
 * git checkout -b B/20130801/BRANCH-XYZ master # create new branch based on branch master
 * git branch -m B/20130801/BRANCH-XYZ B/20130801/BRANCH-ZZZ # rename local branch
 * git push origin B/20130801/BRANCH-ZZZ # push branch B/20130801/BRANCH-ZZZ to remote

== Commit to remote branch ==
 * git commit -am 'Message commit xyz ' --all #commit locally
 * git pull origin B/20130801/BRANCH-ZZZ # sync with remote branch
 # fix conflicts and commit conflict resolution
 * git push origin B/20130801/BRANCH-ZZZ # send changes to remote branch

== Merge to other branch ==
 * git checkout master # merge destination branch 
 * git pull origin master # sync dest branch
 * git merge --no-ff B/20130801/BRANCH-ZZZ # merge branch B/20130801/BRANCH-ZZZ to branch master
 * git pull origin master
 * git push origin master

== Reapply .gitignore ==
 * cd <projectFolder>
 * git rm -r -f --cached .
 * git add .
 * git status #check files to be commited
