I have a desktop PC and a laptop, I use both daily to commit to the same repository on GitHub (via Git). I have just moved over and started using Git, which is great. However, what command do I use when, for example, I have made changes on my desktop PC and committed them to GitHub, and then I want to move all of the changes currently on GitHub onto my laptop files to resume my work on my laptop where I left off on my desktop PC / GitHub?
Thanks in advance.
Clone a repository into a new directory ;
git clone uri_repository.git
Incorporates changes from a remote repository into the current branch.
git pull
Show the working tree status.
git status
Update the index using the current content found in the working tree.
git add .
Record changes to the repository.
git commit -m 'message'
Update remote references (refs) along with associated objects.
git push
You can use the following command to syn your remote repository to your local repository
/* origin points to your remote repository, master is the branch in which your working */
git pull origin master
Incase you dont have remote ie origin setup then
/* Here your aliasing your remote repository location to origin, you can name it anything */
git remote add origin your_git_repo_url
In case if you dont know which branch your currently working then
/* This will list all the branches with * preceded which is active one */
git branch
Once you do your local changes then you may want to push the code to remote repository which can be done as follows
git add .
OR
git add file1.txt file2.txt
git commit -m "You commit description"
git push origin master
To fetch your code from your remote repository from GitHub you use the command git pull. This fetches the latest changes and merges them with your local code so you have the most recent code. You can find a Git cheat sheet with most of the commands you will need here
