+Basic Git commands
+
+Here is a list of some basic Git commands to get you going with Git.
+
+For more detail, check out the  Atlassian Git Tutorials  for a visual introduction to Git commands and workflows, including examples.
+
+1) Tell Git who you are. 
+
+Configure the author name and email address to be used with your commits.
+Note that Git strips some characters (for example trailing periods) from user.name.
+
+git config --global user.name "Sam Smith"
+git config --global user.email [email protected]
+
+
+2) Create a new local repository
+
+git init
+
+3) Check out a repository
+
+Create a working copy of a local repository:
+git clone /path/to/repository
+
+For a remote server, use:
+git clone username@host:/path/to/repository
+
+4) Add files
+
+Add one or more files to staging (index):
+git add <filename>
+
+git add *
+
+5) Commit
+
+Commit changes to head (but not yet to the remote repository):
+git commit -m "Commit message"
+
+Commit any files you've added with git add, and also commit any files you've changed since then:
+git commit -a
+
+6) Push
+
+Send changes to the master branch of your remote repository:
+git push origin master
+
+7) Status
+
+List the files you've changed and those you still need to add or commit:
+git status
+
+8) Connect to a remote repository
+
+If you haven't connected your local repository to a remote server, add the server to be able to push to it:
+git remote add origin <server>
+
+List all currently configured remote repositories:
+git remote -v
+
+9) Branches
+
+Create a new branch and switch to it:
+git checkout -b <branchname>
+
+Switch from one branch to another:
+git checkout <branchname>
+
+List all the branches in your repo, and also tell you what branch you're currently in:
+git branch
+
+Delete the feature branch:
+git branch -d <branchname>
+
+Push the branch to your remote repository, so others can use it:
+git push origin <branchname>
+
+Push all branches to your remote repository:
+git push --all origin
+
+Delete a branch on your remote repository:
+git push origin :<branchname>
+
+10) Update from the remote repository
+
+Fetch and merge changes on the remote server to your working directory:
+git pull
+
+To merge a different branch into your active branch:
+git merge <branchname>
+
+View all the merge conflicts:
+git diff
+
+View the conflicts against the base file:
+git diff --base <filename>
+
+Preview changes, before merging:
+git diff <sourcebranch> <targetbranch>
+
+After you have manually resolved any conflicts, you mark the changed file:
+git add <filename>
+
+11) Tags
+
+You can use tagging to mark a significant changeset, such as a release:
+git tag 1.0.0 <commitID>
+
+CommitId is the leading characters of the changeset ID, up to 10, but must be unique. Get the ID using:
+git log
+
+Push all tags to remote repository:
+git push --tags origin
+
+12) Undo local changes
+
+If you mess up, you can replace the changes in your working tree with the last content in head:
+git checkout -- <filename>
+Changes already added to the index, as well as new files, will be kept.
+
+Instead, to drop all your local changes and commits, fetch the latest history from the server and point your local master branch at it, do this:
+git fetch origin
+git reset --hard origin/master
+
+13) Search
+
+Search the working directory for foo():
+git grep "foo()"
