Chapter 4 Adding and Committing: Git Basics

Now it’s time to dig into Git. Part I introduced you to Git; Part II is about specifics. We’ll dig into Git and go through the basic commands you need in your day-to-day use of Git.

This chapter focuses on a few areas that we touched on in Chapter 3, Creating Your First Project. You’ll get a much deeper understanding of:

  • Adding files

  • Creating commits

  • Checking on what has changed

  • Managing files

We’ll be building on the repository we started in Chapter 3, Creating Your First Project. If you skipped ahead to this point, don’t worry—you can always clone the repository to get the repository that I built:

 
​prompt> git clone git://github.com/tswicegood/mysite.git
