#########################
# Making the repository #
#########################

Making a git repository, first step:
$ git init

Make a file to ignore some files when doing git status:
$ touch .gitignore
Add the name of files/folders we don't want to show up in status to the .gitignore file
To add this (or some other file)
$ git add .gitignore

Commands to create a user name and email for myself:
$ git config --global user.email "johan.h.thoren@thep.lu.se"
$ git config --global user.name "Johan Thoren"


##########################
# Some standard commands #
##########################

To see the status of all the files in the repository
$ git status

To see a log of commits
$ git log
Option
$ git log --oneline

To commit changes
$ git commit -m "a useful message"

To change version
$ git checkout master
can give the hash for the version from git log

Make a branch
$ git checkout -b testing

To see what branch we're on at the moment
$ git branch

To see what's happening with the branches
$ git log --oneline --graph -- decorate --topo-order --all

##################
# Create aliases #
##################
Do
$ git config --global alias.co checkout
$ git config --global alias.br branch
$ git config --global alias.ci commit
$ git config --global alias.st status

Can also go into the file ~/.gitconfig, which looks like
=== Start of file ===
[user]
	email = johan.h.thoren@thep.lu.se
	name = Johan Thoren
[alias]
	co = checkout
	br = branch
	ci = commit
	st = status
	logall = log --oneline --graph --decorate --topo-order --all
=== End of file ===

#################################
# Putting the repository online #
#################################
Can put the repository on github (will be public unless one pays for it)
$ git remote add origin https://github.com/jThoren/comppy17.git
$ git push -u origin master


To create a copy of the repository from github
$ git clone https://github.com/jThoren/comppy17

To push/pull changes from the local repository to the github repository
$ git push
$ git pull

###########
# Forking #
###########
It's like a clone, but between two github accounts
