\"\"<\/a>What is GIT?
\nGit<\/a> is…<\/p>\n

Git is a free & open source, distributed version control system<\/strong> designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency.<\/p>\n

Every Git clone is a full-fledged repository<\/strong> with complete history and full revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network access or a central server. Branching and merging are fast<\/strong> and easy to do.<\/p>\n

Git is used for version control of files, much like tools such as Mercurial<\/a>, Subversion<\/a>, CVS<\/a>, Perforce<\/a>, and Visual SourceSafe<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A single git repository can maintain multiple branches of development.<\/p>\n

Get a list of all existing branches
\n–<\/p>\n

git branch<\/pre>\n
Result : <\/p>\n
 * master <\/pre>\n
Create a new branch (named test)
\n–<\/p>\n
git branch test<\/pre>\n
Switch from default “master” to the test branch
\n– <\/p>\n
git checkout test<\/pre>\n
Force to switch branch from “master” to the test branch
\n– <\/p>\n
git checkout -f test<\/pre>\n
Merge test branch with “master” because two branches have diverged, different changes made in each
\n– <\/p>\n
git merge test<\/pre>\n
If there are conflicts with the changes, show markers
\n–<\/p>\n
git diff<\/pre>\n
Push the “test” branch to remote repo
\n– <\/p>\n
git push origin test<\/pre>\n
Pull the remote “test” branch to local repo
\n–<\/p>\n
git pull origin test<\/pre>\n
Delete remote “test” branch
\n–<\/p>\n
git push origin :test<\/pre>\n
Delete local “test” branch
\n–<\/p>\n
git branch -d test<\/pre>\n
>> Use it when changes in the test branch are already in “master” branch<\/p>\n
–<\/p>\n
git branch -D test<\/pre>\n
>> force delete test branch<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
