How to ignore files

https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/docs/git/tutorial/ignore-files

## Modify the file: 
$ more .git/info/exclude
# git ls-files --others --exclude-from=.git/info/exclude
# Lines that start with '#' are comments.
# For a project mostly in C, the following would be a good set of
# exclude patterns (uncomment them if you want to use them):
# *.[oa]
# *~
#

How to add submodule

Reference:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7813030/how-can-i-have-linked-dependencies-in-a-git-repo

git submodule add [email protected]:heike/summerschool-2017.git bigdata/summerschool-2017

You can do this with submodules in git. In your repository, do:

git submodule add path_to_repo path_where_you_want_it So, if the library's repository had a URL of git://github.com/example/some_lib.git and you wanted it at lib/some_lib in your project, you'd enter:

git submodule add git://github.com/example/some_lib.git lib/some_lib Note that this needs to be done from the top-level directory in your repository. So don't cd into the directory where you're putting it first.

After you add a submodule, or whenever someone does a fresh checkout of your repository, you'll need to do:

git submodule init git submodule update And then all submodules you've added will be checked out at the same revision you have.

When you want to update to a newer version of one of the libraries, cd into the submodule and pull:

cd lib/some_lib git pull Then, when you do a git status you should see lib/somelib listed in the modified section. Add that file, commit, and you're up to date. When a collaborator pulls that commit into their repository, they'll see lib/somelib as modified until they run git submodule update again.

How to Check if pull needed in Git

First use git remote update, to bring your remote refs up to date. Then you can do one of several things, such as:

git status -uno will tell you whether the branch you are tracking is ahead, behind or has diverged. If it says nothing, the local and remote are the same. git show-branch *master will show you the commits in all of the branches whose names end in master (eg master and origin/master). If you use -v with git remote update (git remote -v update) you can see which branches got updated, so you don't really need any further commands.

However, it looks like you want to do this in a script or program and end up with a true/false value. If so, there are ways to check the relationship between your current HEAD commit and the head of the branch you are tracking, although since there are four possible outcomes you can't reduce it to a yes/no answer. However, if you're prepared to do a pull --rebase then you can treat "local is behind" and "local has diverged" as "need to pull", and the other two as "don't need to pull".

You can get the commit id of any ref using git rev-parse , so you can do this for master and origin/master and compare them. If they are equal, the branches are the same. If they're unequal, you want to know which is ahead of the other. Using git merge-base master origin/master will tell you the common ancestor of both branches, and if they haven't diverged this will be the same as one or the other. If you get three different ids, the branches have diverged.

How to check and set user.name

git config user.name "JonSnow"

How to reset the remote url?

git remote set-url --add --push [remote] [original repo URL]
git remote set-url --add --push [remote] [second repo URL]
git remote set-url [remote] [second repo URL]

How to undo a previous commit?

What if you want to rebate a previous commit

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/927358/how-to-undo-the-last-commits-in-git?page=1&tab=votes#tab-top

git reset --hard HEAD~
git push origin +master  ## "+ means forcely push the changes

How to tell git to only include certain files instead of ignoring certain files?

The best solution to achieve this create .gitignore file in repository root, and if you want to include only .c file then you need to add below lines to .gitignore file

*.*
!*.c

This will include all .c file from directory and subdirectory recursively.

How to delete a branch

git branch -D gh-pages
git push origin :gh-pages
