to clone a repository:
git clone my_git_address
list local branches:
git branch
list remote branches:
git branch --remote
Checkout and track a remote branch:
git checkout --track origin/xyz
Push a local branch to a new remote branch name
git push --set-upstream origin <remotebranchname>
Sometimes you want to see what has changed. git status can be used to see which files have changed since the last commit. Otherwise, you can use git diff to more closely inspect file changes line by line
Push a quick commit:
If you created a local branch and need to link it to a remote:
git push --set-upstream origin <localbranchname>
git add *
git commit -m "commit message"
git push
or combined:
git add * && git commit -m "update" && git push
from here
to pull submodules
git submodule update --init --recursive
git submodule update --recursive --remote
cd into the proper subdirectory ensure you are attached to a branch:
git branch
if not check one out
git checkout [branchname]
git clean -dxf
git fetch --all --tags
git checkout tags/<tag> -b <branch>
example
git checkout tags/Ubuntu-5.13.0-21.21 -b Ubuntu-5.13.0-21.21
