Naming Conventions

Branches and file names should be in all lowercase letters:

Branch name: topic-initials1-initials2 (ex. arrays-aw-sp)
File name: topic-student1-student2.js (ex. arrays-austin-sarah.js)

Informational Commands

Use this informational command to tell you what files have been modified and what phase of the git process you are on:

$ git status

Use this informational command to see what branch you are currently on:

$ git branch

Cloning a Repository

Use this command if you don't have the repository (folder) on your local machine:

$ git clone <repo-url> (pasted from clipboard on GitHub)

Create a Branch

Use this command if you need to create a branch that does not exist anywhere:

$ git checkout -b <topic-initials1-initials2> (ex. hof-aw-sp)

Moving to an Existing Local Branch

Use this informational command to see what branches exist on your local machine:

$ git branch

Use this command to move to a branch that exist on your local machine:

$ git checkout <branch-name>

Updating an Existing Repository

Use this command if you DO have the repository on your local machine but DON'T have the latest version of the code from GitHub:

$ git pull origin <branch-name>

Moving to an Existing GitHub Branch

Use these commands if the repo you are working on has a branch but it is NOT on your local machine:

$ git fetch origin <branch-name>
$ git checkout <branch-name>

Adding Local Code to GitHub

Use these commands to add the code you have on your local machine to GitHub:

$ pwd (ensure you are in the repository level)
$ git status (informational command, ensure you are on the correct branch and in the correct directory)
$ git add <file-name>
$ git commit -m "message describing the work that was accomplished"
$ git push origin <branch-name>

Deleting a Branch

Branches exist on your local and on the remote. Always delete your branch in both places.

Branches in GitHub can be deleted via the GUI
$ git branch -d <branch-name>
