basic git command

git is the fast version control system

Now I am studying how to use git

• Here are the commands for common using:
  
  

1. Use git clone to check out sources. i.e. Download pulseaudio sources:
   
   

   git clone git://git.0pointer.de/pulseaudio.git
   
   
   

2. Use git status to show your working tree status
   
   

   git status
   
   

3. Use git pull to update the codes to the newest version
   
   

   git pull origin master
   
   

4. Add or edit your file
   
   
5. Commit your new file
   
   

   git add your-file
   
   git commit -m 'log'
   
   

6. Push your change to remote repository
   
   

   git push origin master
   
   

• Here is a sample to generate a patch
  
  

  git status
  
  view /home/usr/.gitconfig 
  
  git add src/pulsecore/random.c
  
  git log -v
  
  git commit -m 'core: Fix variable "has_whined" value bug'
  
  git format-patch -s -1
  
  view 0001-core-Fix-variable-has_whined-value-bug.patch
