- We just forked a repo on GitHub.com and want to start working on it locally. What command do we use to do that?
git clone [email protected]:payne-chris-r/git-basics-08-assessment.git
- OK, we just wrote some code. What command could we use to see a list of all the changes that have been made since the last commit?
git status (git diff for more detail)
- Oops - it looks like there was a change that we forgot to include in our last commit. How can we revise that commit and fix things?
If it's just the comment/message use git commit --amend. If you need to go back and redo the whole thing you can use git reset --hard, but that will also erase any changes you've made. I would likely just use git add and make a new commit including the changed files that were missed in the previous commit.
- It looks like there was a change on the original repo that we forked from. How could we grab those changes and incorporate them into our local repo?
git pull upstream will update your pull request to include any new changes that were made since you forked the original repo.
- Suppose that we wanted to look at the third-to-last commit on
master; what command(s) would we write to do that?
git log and look through them starting at the top and scrolling down, or git checkout HEAD~3
- OK, we've done all the work we want to do locally. Let's update our fork so that we can make a pull request. What command would we use to update our fork?
git push origin
You're done! Refer back to README.md.
