Git: Mastering Version Control

Comparing Git and Subversion commands

Here you can find a short and partial recap table, where I try to pair the most common Subversion and Git commands to help Subversion users to quickly shift their minds from Subversion to Git.

Subversion	Git
Creating a repository
svnadmin create <repo-name> svnadmin import <project-folder>	git init <repo-name> git add . git commit –m "Initial commit"
Getting the whole repository for the first time
svn checkout <url>	git clone <url>
Inspecting local changes
svn status svn diff | less	git status git diff
Dealing with files (adding, removing, moving)
svn add <file> svn rm <file> svn mv <file>	git add <file> git rm <file> git mv <file>
Committing local changes ...
