$ git status

Adding changes

$ git add directoryname.html

$ git status

Staging and committing

Commiting the changes

$ git commit

# your editor opens

# On the first line, enter the comment: “Added hi tag”.

$  git commit

Checking the status

$ git status

<html>

  <body>

    <h1>Hello, World!</h1>

  </body>

</html>

$ git commit -m "Added standard HTML page tags"

$ git status

Adding the second change

$ git add .

$ git status

Commit the second change

$ git commit -m "Added HTML header"

History: Getting a list of changes made is a function

Check the status of the repository

$ git status

# Check the status of the repository, to see what the state of our project is.

Create a Directory

$ mkdir my_git_project

# create a directory where we’ll store the files for our project:

Changes Directory

$ cd my_git_project

# changes the active directory to the newly created one

Initializes a git repository

$ git init

# Initializes a git repository – creates the initial ‘.git’ directory in a new or in an existing project.

The git init command creates a new Git repository. It can be used to convert an existing, unversioned project to a Git repository or initialize a new empty repository. Most of the other Git commands are not available outside of an initialized repository, so this is usually the first command you’ll run in a new project.

Creates an empty Git repository - basically a .git directory with subdirectories for objects, refs/heads, refs/tags, and template files. An initial HEAD file that references the HEAD of the master branch is also created.

Show file in working tree

$ git ls-files

# Show information about files in the index and the working tree

History of the project

$ git log

# The history shows the list of commits, each with a unique hash, an author, a timestamp and a commit message.

Synchronize it with the remote repository

$ git remote add origin https://github.com/yourgitname/my_git_project.git
$ git push -u origin master

# synchronize it with the remote repository:

    The ultimate format of the log
    Retrieved from https://githowto.com/history
    $ git log --pretty=format:"%h %ad | %s%d [%an]" --graph --date=short
    Let’s look at it in detail:

        --pretty="..." defines the output format.
        %h is the abbreviated hash of the commit
        %d commit decorations (e.g. branch heads or tags)
        %ad is the commit date
        %s is the comment
        %an is the name of the author
        --graph tells git to display the commit tree in the form of an ASCII graph layout
        --date=short keeps the date format short and nice
