1. The .git Directory When you initialize a new Git repository with git init, Git creates a .git directory in your project. This directory is where almost all of the information that Git needs and uses is stored. It includes: Objects: The objects directory stores all the content of your files, but in a format

Git-Flow and GitHub Flow Both Git-Flow and GitHub Flow are workflow models that guide how software development teams use Git for version control. Each has its own structure and rules for managing branches, which can influence how teams collaborate and deploy software. Git-Flow Git-Flow is a branching model for Git, designed by Vincent Driessen. It

Detached HEAD Before everything, let’s have a look at some stuff. Everything in Git is about commits, and many git commands accept commits as a parameter, i.e.

git checkout <HASH-ID> |
We have to understand how to reference commits. Hash The SHA-1 hash of a commit is the most straightforward method to refer to it. In the

In this tutorial I will show you how to set up your own Git server. Here I have used an Ubuntu 20.04 server on a virtual machine which is called homeserver and my clinent machine is called client. The convention for the bash scripts is user@host:~$ The Protocols Git can use four distinct protocols to

Forking Projects You can “fork” the project if you want to contribute to an existing project to which you do not have push access. GitHub can make a copy of the project that is fully yours when you “fork” a project; it resides in your namespace, and you can push it. By creating what is

Set up: This allows the repository to be local a file directory:
|
1 2 3 |
ROOT=/tmp echo $ROOT git config --global protocol.file.allow always |
Create remote:
|
1 2 3 |
cd $ROOT mkdir remote git init --bare remote |
Creating repos1
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 |
mkdir repos1 cd $ROOT/repos1 git init touch main.cpp git add . git commit -m 'main.cpp added' git remote add origin ../remote/ git push --set-upstream origin master git push origin master |
Creating lib1
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 |
cd $ROOT mkdir lib1 cd $ROOT/lib1 git init . touch vision.hpp git add . git commit -m 'vision.hpp added' # this alows to push into this repository, as it is a non-bare repository git config --local receive.denyCurrentBranch updateInstead |
Adding lib1 as submodule to repos1
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 |
cd $ROOT/repos1 git submodule add ../lib1/ git diff --cached lib1/ # This command lists the submodules recorded in the .gitmodules file along with their current checked out commit. git submodule # Gives you the commit from repose lib1 that has been added git ls-tree master git add . git commit -m 'lib1 as submodule added' git push origin master |
Cloning a Project with Submodules to repos2
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 |
cd $ROOT mkdir $ROOT/repos2 cd $ROOT/repos2 git clone $ROOT/remote/ . git submodule init git submodule update # Simpler way: # git clone --recurse-submodules ../remote/ . #If you already cloned the project and forgot --recurse-submodules, you can combine the git submodule init and git submodule update # We are in Detached HEAD State cd $ROOT/repos2/lib1/ git checkout master git branch -vv |
Working on Submodule lib1 in repos2:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 |
cd $ROOT/repos2/lib1/ touch reader.hpp git add . git commit -m 'reader added from repos2' cd ../ git add . git commit -m 'submodule lib1 updated' git push |
Pulling in Upstream Changes from the Submodule Remote in repos1:

cd $ROOT/repos1/lib1 git fetch git merge now cd ../ git diff --submodule # There is an easier way to do this git submodule update --remote |

A git hook is a script that Git executes before or after an event such as committing, pushing, or receiving code. Git hooks are a built-in feature of Git that allows you to perform custom actions at specific points in the Git workflow. They are stored in the .git/hooks directory in a Git repository, and
