It’s very important to know the commands behind the UI in Visual Studio, in this post I just explain the basic you need to work with Git from the command line.
The first step is to set the global settings, but first list display what its value is.
git config –global -l
If there is no settings it will tell you no such a file, if there is data it will be displayed as the following:
If you open the user folder, you can see that file .getconfig, also if you open the Visual Studio and navigate to global settings you will find that this info has been set too.
I can also edit this file using VIM:
This will open Unix editor, to quite that window I need to type :q +enter.
You can press i to start entering text and save by pressing esc and :wq and enter, this will commit with the message you typed. In your current state, to just come out without committing, you can do :q
If you open the file without a proper exit, it will create a swap file and you can’t open it again smoothly, you just need to delete that swap file or close the file as mention before
Navigate to the directory you want to use and type:git initgit clone https://github.com/youraccount/rep
This will copy all files to your local files, try to add new file and then add it using git add
Try to see the status using git status
Commit the changes git commit -m ” your message”
