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
