Git Commands

If you're new to Git or just want a referesher, here are a few common and useful Git commands you'll use while working in the devportal repo.

• git branch to see what branches you have on your machine.
• git status to check the status of your current branch.
• git checkout <branchname> use to access your different branch. For example, you'll use git checkout master all the time to access the master branch.
• git pull origin master fetches changes in the repository and merges them.
• git branch <branchname> creates a new branch. Do this for every change you make and associate the branch name with the changes. For example, call it the name of the issue you're working (dev-446) or the area you're working in (formulas).
• git add -A adds your changes to the staging area of your branch. You still need to commit them, though.
• git commit -m "<message>" commits your changes to the branch.
• git push origin <branchname> sends your changes to repository and creates a pull request.
