GitHub tricks

Command line tool that allows you to save your code in a "cleaver" way : keep track of modifications (snapshot ?) and share it.

• A lot of tricks are already on the MBB wiki GitHub (https://github.com/MBB-team/Misc/wiki/Version-control-with-Git:-a-quick-how-to)

• Track your code modifications

(avoid silly renaming as "new", "final"...)

You're force to put a label on any modification you do in your code

To take a snapshot (add a modification) :

git commit -A -m "description of your modification" % A for Atomic modification : only inform modification you are doing without changing the mother code.

git status % to get an idea of what you committed.

git push % send all your changes to the website

git pull % get all changes online on your computer

git stash % get rid of your own modification, pull and re-add your own modifications

Sometimes, there is a conflict : if same lines are changed by two users, you'll have a weird thing with >>>>>> .... <<<<<<< in your code, you need to resolve the conflict an then commit.

USE IT ! Versionning is the only way to keep track and do not forget about important changes you do in your code.
