How to Use Git on Linux

If you’re a developer, especially one who plans on working with a team on a project, chances are pretty good you’re going to need to use Git.

This TechRepublic Premium guide, created by Jack Wallen, will walk you through the process of installing and using Git as a version control system. The guide will also demonstrate connecting Git to a GitHub remote repository.

    HOW TO CREATE A LOCAL REPOSITORY

    The first thing to do is create a repository, which will house the code you work on locally. Let’s create a repository in a new folder. Create the folder with the command:

    mkdir ~/myproject

    Change into that new folder with the command:

    cd ~/myproject

    Now we must initialize the directory, so Git knows about it. This is done with the command:

    git init

    Your new repository has been initialized and is ready to house your code.
