Git Goin For Newbs

Wrote this up for my partner, taking intro to HTML & CSS at School of Visual Concepts. You don't have to be a Git master to leverage it for your projects. git init freely!

Enough Git to Get Going

• If you are accessing one that already exists
  git clone

• If you need to start a new one
  git init

• Once you have it, check what is up with it
  git status

• If you have stuff that needs to be added
  git add *

• If you have changes that you don't want to keep but you want to save
  git stash

• If you have changes you want to keep
  git commit -m "Do a message"

• If you want to see what the difference is on a file
  git diff

• To get new commits from the remote
  git pull

• To push your new commits to the remote
  git push

• To see your commit log
  git log

We will worry about branching, cherry picking, reseting, merging later.
