Table of Contents

Git & GitHub

Git cheat sheet:

SETUP

Configuring user information used across all local repositories

git config --global user.name “[firstname lastname]” set a name that is identifiable for credit when review version history
git config --global user.email “[valid-email]” set an email address that will be associated with each history marker
git config --global color.ui auto set automatic command line coloring for Git for easy reviewing

SETUP & INIT

Configuring user information, initializing and cloning repositories

git init initialize an existing directory as a Git repository

  • set Git configuration

    To set up github on the local git, open your terminal or command prompt and run the following commands:

    git config --global user.name “-------”
    git config --global user.email “------”
  • set Git configuration

    To check your github configuration on the local git, run the following commands:

    git config --list
  • Cloning a Repository

    To clone a repository, open your terminal or command prompt and run the following command:

    git clone git@github.com:username/repository.git
  • connect to a remote repository on GitHub

    Run this git command to connect your local Git repository to a remote repository on GitHub.

    git remote add origin git@github.com:username/repositoryname.git
  • Adding a File to the Repository

    To add a file to the repository, first make sure the file is in the correct directory. Then, open your terminal or command prompt and navigate to the directory where the file is located. Finally, run the following command:

    git add "filename"
  • Removing a File from the Repository

    To remove a file from the repository, first make sure the file is in the correct directory. Then, run the following command:

Bash Files

  • Creating a Bash File

    To create a bash script file with the .sh extension. For example, "my_script.sh" Add a shebang line at the beginning of the script to specify the interpreter. In this case, we will use bash.

    #!/user/bin/bash

    Write your script commands under the shebang line. Each command should be on a new line. For example, let's print "Hello, World!" and list the files in the current directory.

    #!/user/bin/bash
    
    echo "Hello, World!"
    
    ls

    Save your script file.

    Open a terminal and navigate to the directory where your script file is located. Give the script file execute permissions by running the following command:

    chmod +x my_script.sh
    
    chmod u+rwx my_script.sh
    .
    .
    .

    removing permission

    chmod u-w my_script.sh
    
    chmod u-r my_script.sh
    .
    .
    .

    Now you can run your script by executing the following command:

    ./my_script.sh

    This will execute your script and display the output in your terminal.

    Remember to replace my_script.sh with the actual name of your script file.

    • EXAMPLE:
      #!/user/bin/bash
      greeting = "welcome"
      user = $(whoami)
      day = $(date + %A)
      echo "greeting back $user! Today is $day, which is the best day of the entire week!"
      echo "your bash shell version is $BASH_VERSION. Enjoy!"
