Git And GitHub in ~30 Minutes

Welcome back to this Tech With Tim Git/GitHub tutorial! In this video, I'll be showing you everything you need to know about Git/GitHub to get started as a beginner, and as fast as possible. I'll talk about how Git and GitHub work, the differences between them, and what these commands actually do. This includes local repositories, tracked and untracked files, staging, branches, remote repositories, commits, and more!

Here are all of the commands that were covered in this video:

Main commands:

git init - initialise git repo inside a directory
git status - view the staging area
git add <file> - add/re-add file to the staging area
git add . - add all files to the staging area
git rm --cached <file> - remove file from the staging area
git commit -m "<message>" - commit staged changes to git repo with a message
git commit -am "<message>" - add all files to staging area then commit

Branch commands:

git checkout -b <branch name> - create a new branch
git checkout <branch name> - switch to a branch
git branch - view all branches
git merge <branch name> - overlay work from branch name onto the current branch
git branch -M <branch name> - rename current branch to branch name

Remote Repo commands:

git remote add origin <url> - add the url to the repo as a remote with name origin
git push -u origin <branch> - upload changes in a branch to origin (the remote repo)
git pull - get changes in remote repo
git clone <url> - clone remote repo and save it to a new directory

For any beginners here using version control in a team setting -- you generally want to avoid the git add . (add all files) command, unless you are 100% certain you want to include all changes to be pushed up into the git repo. Adding any unnecessary files may cause headaches and extra work if you're not being careful.

As always, thank you for the content, Tim!

Tim helping to cultivate future programmers with these simple videos! Love your videos.

As a beginner I thought your previous beginner video was better because of your blackboard introduction. This video consolidated the earlier video information and added a few items that you glossed over or didn't include in the earlier one. I wouldn't have gotten as much out of it if I hadn't watched the first one. The overview from the blackboard definitely has an impact for a beginner.

Thanks for making my git repo cleaner lol.

The sponsor is cool btw. Honestly this is the first sponsor I liked on a video.

git commit -m "Binge-Watched and coded it till the end !! Love you, Tim❤❤"

git push -u brain main

[abhinavchavali]

I feel like there is already many of these kinds of videos. Would appreciate a more complex git tutorial with forks, open source contributions, pull requests, and the more complex topics

[philosophyindepth.]

4:40 git init command initialize repository in proper directory
5:40 go to folder(in cmd) where you had created git repository
10:30 adding files to staging area

[aadityamunjal]

Also please make a tutorial on pull requests, forks, and other GitHub open source stuff. I struggled a lot with them earlier. <3

[Toam]

Hey tim! I just wanted to say I think you should try out tabnine I think it's really cool
Thanks for this tutorial!

[mayankdiwedi]

Great work tim. Keep it up. You forgot to mention that if the remote repo is having some extra commit. It won't show up automatically to local untill you do git fetch to the local. Correct me if I'm wrong... :)
