clone a remote git repository

git clone <remote-repository-url>

• example: git clone https://github.com/username/repository.git
• clone a remote git repository to a local system.

---

create develop branch - this is the main code-line

1. git checkout -b develop

• create and switch to a branch called develop

2. git push -u origin develop

• links local develop branch with remote corresponding develop branch
• push local branch to remote repository for the first time (first time only)

---

1. git checkout -b featureBranch

• create and switch to a branch called featureBranch

add or modify files

git add .

git commit -m "ADD/MODIFY File/s"

2. git push -u origin featureBranch

• links local branchName with remote corresponding branch

---

integrate featureBranch branch with the main code-line i.e., the develop branch

1. git checkout develop

2. git pull

3. git merge featureBranch

4. git push

---

release code from develop branch (Normally code is released from a dedicated release branch taken from develop). In this case assume develop contains valid releaseable code.

1. git checkout master

2. git pull

3. git merge develop

4. git push

---

create a tag representing the release

a tag is a special branch which can be setup to read only, giving us the certainity to always have a branch we can go back to in-order to reproduce releaseable code

1. git tag "1.0.0.RELEASE" -m "Releasing version 1.0.0"

2. git push --tags
