git config --global user.email "james.bensley@email.com"

 

Adding a git remote origin:

git remote add origin ssh://login@IP/path/to/repository # Using SSH
git remote add origin http://IP/path/to/repository # Using HTTP
git push -u origin master

 

Add a specific branch (e.g. master) from a remote origin:

git remote add --track master origin user@somesite.com:group/project.git # Using git
git remote add --track master origin http://github.com/group/project.git # Using HTTP

 

Replace the existing remote origin:

git remote set-url origin https://github.com/username/repo

 

Commit files in an existing directory to an existing git repo (as long as the local files don't overlap with the remote repo):

git init
git remote add origin git@github.com:jwbensley/network_graphs.git
git pull origin master
git reset --hard HEAD
git add *
git commit -m "commit to github.com"
git push origin master

 

Clone a specific branch:

git clone -b dev https://github.com/jwbensley/IP-Hashing.git

 

Ammend a git commit:

git commit --amend
# follow prompts to change the commit message

 

Remove .DS_Store files from repos on a Mac:

echo .DS_Store >> .gitignore  # Add them to the git infore before commiting
git add .gitignore
git commit -m 'gitignore .DS_Store'

or set up a global ignore:

echo ".DS_Store" >> ~/.gitignore_global
echo "._.DS_Store" >> ~/.gitignore_global
echo "**/.DS_Store" >> ~/.gitignore_global
echo "**/._.DS_Store" >> ~/.gitignore_global
git config --global core.excludesfile ~/.gitignore_global

 

Handy git commands:

alias gitgraph="git log --all --decorate --oneline --graph"
