Git
An intro to Git Source Control Management
What is Git?

Distributed version control system
Linus Torvalds - to track linux kernel development
Free and open source
Designed to handle small/large projects with speed and efficiency
Fast branching and merging
Why source control?
Faster development
Archive of all code changes over time
Compare changes and revert to old release
Accountability
Conserve disk space
Good for you
Distributed vs Centralized
The Basics
Installing git
• To initialize git directory
•   $ git init




• Start version controlling existing files
•   $ git add *.php *.inc *.html *.tpl

•   $ git commit -m ‘Initial project version’




• Cloning an existing repository
•   $ git clone ssh://clickindia@192.168.0.77/home/clickindia/public_html/clickindia
Basic git workflow




• You modify files in your working directory
• You stage files adding snapshot of them to staging area
• You do a commit which takes the files in staging area and
 stores the snapshot permanently
Changes in repository
To check status of your files
Modifying files
Tracking new files
Removing files
Staging modified files
Committing files
Ignoring files
Example of gitignore
$ cat .gitignore
 *.[oa]
 *~
 *.a       # no .a files
 !lib.a    # but do track lib.a, even though you're ignoring .a files above
 /TODO     # only ignore the root TODO file, not subdir/TODO
 build/    # ignore all files in the build/ directory
 doc/*.txt # ignore doc/notes.txt, but not doc/server/arch.txt
Viewing staged and
    unstaged changes
git status
git diff   (Compares working directory with staging area)


git diff --staged
git diff HEAD
git diff v1.0 v1.1
git diff master adposting
Branching
$ git add README test.rb LICENSE
$ git commit -m 'initial commit of my project'




    Created on commit              Created on add
Branching
Branching
Creating new branch
$ git branch testing
Current branch
Switching branch
$ git checkout testing
Significance of branch
$ vim test.php
$ git commit -am “made a change”
Significance of branch
$ git checkout master
Significance of branch
$ vim test.php
$ git commit -am “made a change”
Basic branching and merging
• Create a new feature branch
• Do some work in that branch
Critical issue in production
• Revert back to production branch
• Create a new branch to add the hotfix
• After testing, merge the hotfix branch and push to
  production

• Switch back to your original issue and continue
Basic branching and merging


$ git checkout -b iss53
Switched to a new branch "iss53"
Basic branching and merging
$ vi index.html
$ git commit -a -m 'added a new footer [issue 53]'
Basic branching and merging
Issue in production
$ git checkout master
Switched to branch “master”
$ git checkout -b ‘hotfix’
Switched to a new branch “hotfix”
$ vim index.html
$ git commit -am ‘fixed a broken email address’
[hotfix]: created 3a0874c: "fixed the broken email address"
 1 files changed, 0 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-)
Basic branching and merging
$ git checkout master
$ git merge --no-ff hotfix
Updating f42c576..3a0874c
 README |    1 -
 1 files changed, 0 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-)




 $ git branch -d hotfix
 Deleted branch hotfix (3a0874c).
Basic branching and merging
$ git checkout iss53
Switched to branch "iss53"
$ vim index.html
$ git commit -a -m 'finished the new footer [issue 53]'
[iss53]: created ad82d7a: "finished the new footer [issue 53]"
 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
Basic branching and merging
$ git checkout master
$ git merge iss53
Merge made by recursive.

 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
Basic branching and merging




$ git branch -d iss53
Branch management

$   git   branch                 #   Shows all the active branches
$   git   branch   -v            #   Shows last commit on each branch
$   git   branch   --merged      #   Shows which branches are merged with the branch you are on
$   git   branch   --no-merged   #   Shows all branches that contain work you haven’t merged
$   git   branch   -d testing    #   To delete a branch. Will fail if the branch is not yet merged
Remote branches
• Remote branches are references to the state
 of branches on your remote repositories
Remote branches
Remote branches
$ git fetch origin     # Fetches any data you don’t have from remote ‘origin’ repository
$ git fetch origin master    # Fetches data only from ‘master’ branch
$ git pull origin     # Fetches any data you don’t have and merges it with local branch
$ git pull origin master # Fetches data from master and merges it with local master branch
$ git push origin develop # Pushes data from local ‘develop’ branch to remote ‘develop’ branch
$ git push origin develop:release # Pushes data from local ‘develop’ branch to remote ‘release’ branch


                                           git fetch origin
Remotes
$ git remote
Origin

$ git remote -v
Origin ssh://clickindia@192.168.0.77/home/clickindia/public_html/clickindia

$ git remote add test ssh://clickindia@test.clickindia.com/home/clickindia/public_html....

$ git remote rm origin

Git branching model
How will we work?
                                pull
                  master                      master                master

                                                          pull
                  develop
                                push           release




               Development                  Test server          Production
               192.168.0.77




Developer 1   Developer 2     Developer 3
Tagging and release
Once the code is merged into master production
  $ git tag -a v1.0.1      # applies v1.0.1 tag to current commit

  $ git tag                # To list all tags

  $ git tag -1 ‘v1.4.2*‘   # List all tags starting with 1.4.2

  $ git tag -a v1.0.1 -m ‘my version 1.0.1’

  $ git show v1.4

   tag v1.4
