git config user.name

git config user.email

To create new Local repository :

git init

which will create git repository in the current directory, or 

git init <project directory>

which will create git repository in the requested directory.

At any time to see the current state of repository use:

git status

Now we need to add all the existing code in the directory to the newly created repository:

git add *

or 

git add file1 file2 file3

to see what is in the staging area (about to be committed)

git diff --cached

or as discussed above 

git status

Which moves the code to the staging area (where we group items we want to commit). To commit those items:

git commit -m “commit message”

you can again check the status of the repository with 

git status

also, a useful command that shows the committed changes is:

git log

To see history of specific file 

git log file1

To see a graph representation of data

To check out code from remote location to your local repository:

git clone URL

Or 

git clone username@host:URL

To pull changes from remote repository to your local:

git pull

to push your local repository to master (remote)

to list branches:

git branch

to create new branch and switch to it

to switch to another branch

git checkout branchname
