This repository is mainly set up to learn the workings of github The commands that I usually used, the best practice I had so far:
I usually first create new repository on github or bitbucket first, then
git clone
After I made changes to my local repository master branch, and want to push it to remote master branch
git status
git add .
git commit -m 'whatever'
git push origin main
what if in remote repository, we want multiple branches? I will first create branch through web portal in github or bitbucket. Then,
git clone
probabaly git pull or git fetch would work as well, but hasn't tested yet.
Then, after making changes in my local master branch,
git status
git add .
git commit -m 'your message'
git show-ref
git push origin HEAD:branch_name
what if you accidentally push to remote master?
Go to remote, find the commit ID you want to restore
git reset --hard commitID
git push origin master
But by doing that, your updates in local master branch will be removed. So more smart way is to first create new branch to save the current updates.
git branch backup
git checkout backup
git checkout master
git reset --hard commitID
git push origin master
