Create

The template is : git remote add <remote_name> <adress>

Github HTTPS

git remote add origin https://github.com/UnknownPlatypus/sound-play.git

Warning

Untracked changes are not stashed
Always use git status first

Github SSH

git remote add origin git@github.com:User/UserRepo.git

Info

Untracked changes are also stashed !

Local Remote

cd C:/path/to/local/remote
git init --bare

cd MyGitProject
git remote add origin C:/path/to/local/remote

Info

Local folder can be use as a remote

Clone

The template is : git clone <remote_link> <local_name>

Default

git clone https://github.com/UnknownPlatypus/sound-play.git

Info

Clone repository in a 'sound-play' folder

Rename

git clone https://github.com/UnknownPlatypus/sound-play.git custom_name   

Info

Depth limit

git clone --depth 5 https://github.com/UnknownPlatypus/sound-play.git

Warning

Push

The template is : git push <remote_name> <local_branch_name>
Best practice to use remote_name = origin for the main remote (it's Github default for ex)

Push branch

git push origin master
git push origin igloo

Remove remote branch

git remote rm igloo

Pull

The template is : git pull <remote_name> <remote_branch_name>

Pull branch

git pull origin master

Warning

Might create a "Merge branch" commit if local is ahead of remote
Use rebase to avoid that

Pull branch & Rebase History

git pull --rebase origin master

Setup rebase as default

git config --global branch.autosetuprebase always

Rename

git remote rename origin lol

Info

Now the remote name is 'lol' instead of 'origin'
You can use git remote -v to see that

Git clone someone else's repository & Git push to your own repository

Linked to origin repo

1. Create a new repository at github.com. (this is your repository) Give it the same name as the other repository. Don't initialize it with a README, .gitignore, or license.

2. Clone the other repository to your local machine. (if you haven't done so already) git clone https://github.com/other-account/other-repository.git

3. Rename the local repository's current 'origin' to 'upstream'. git remote rename origin upstream

4. Give the local repository an 'origin' that points to your repository. git remote add origin https://github.com/your-account/your-repository.git

5. Push the local repository to your repository on github. git push origin master

Unlinked to origin repo

1. Create a new repository at github.com. (this is your repository) Give it the same name as the other repository. Don't initialize it with a README, .gitignore, or license.

2. Clone the other repository to your local machine. (if you haven't done so already) git clone https://github.com/other-account/other-repository.git

3. Change the local repository's current 'origin' to a new url. git remote set-url origin http://github.com/YOU/YOUR_REPO

4. Push the local repository to your repository on github. git push origin master
