Git Tutorial for Beginners: Mastering Git Essentials (the 80/20 of Git) - A Git Course

[@naserghodsian5545]

This is not the most comprehensive git course, but it is definitely the BEST!

[@donnfelkeryt]

Thanks! That’s the intention. To give you the tools you need, not the whole kitchen sink. 😉

[@arpie2671]

Thank you for this tutorial, came here after listening to the podcast. Learned a lot !

[@donnfelkeryt]

Glad you found it useful!

Hi Donn, just noted that the alias cam = commit -am is sometimes not adding files to be committed and you may need to run: git add . before the cam alias. If you don't run git add . you get this message on git bash: nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track) So I asked ChatGPT which gave me this alias command which is now working fine: cam = !git add . && git commit -am This is the explanation - ensures that all changes are staged before committing them. Now, when you run git cam "your commit message", it will first add all changes and then commit them.

[@donnfelkeryt]

Correct. It will bit add new files. Thanks for the update here and detailed alias to improve it for others. :)

Thank you so much

[@joshmay9531]

Thanks Donn! I feel like I'm in the Matrix and I just downloaded "Mastering Git" into my brain 🥷🙏💪

[@donnfelkeryt]

Lol. Awesome 🤜 💥 🤛

Another way to adding changes to the git is `git add -p` which makes interactive adding all changes by inspecting them and decide if want them. To clean untracked directories we can add `-d` switch to the command `git clean` ;-)

[@donnfelkeryt]

The patch switch (-p or - -patch) is great for that!

[@vediam]

This course helped me out a ton for an interview for which I got my first job in software development! Will be working on React Native. Do you have any courses for that?

[@donnfelkeryt]

@@T9user I’m glad to hear that this helped you land a job! That’s awesome. I don’t have one on react native at this time, maybe in the future.

Dear Donn, when I create a new branch in an Android project and make some changes, all those changes will appear on the master branch as well. It doesn’t happen for Kotlin or C++ projects on my laptop. Is there any specific consideration that I’m missing when it comes to Android?

[@donnfelkeryt]

Git is file system based. It doesn’t care about what it’s working with. What’s likely happening is that there are some ignored files/folders in the cache. Those are ignored in the .gitignore file. When you switch back to master from your other branch that cache is still there. You’ll likely need to clear/clean your cache when you switch branches. I used to have this problem in Android a lot and it was frustrating because Gradle would pick up stuff that was not there. I’d sometimes have to clean with gradle and invalidate the caches in Android Studio too. It was a pain, but that’s what fixed it.

Nice

[@donnfelkeryt]

Thanks

Thanks to you, whole 2 hours is worth. 🔥

[@donnfelkeryt]

@@kasemsm8092 awesome to hear! 💪🏻

[@shobhitchoudhury5333]

hey, so I have vscode and whenever I try to open up a folder in my desktop with vscode it says that "git has over 5000 active change", is there any way to get rid of this?

[@donnfelkeryt]

There could be a number of reasons why you’re getting this error. Do some googling with the error message and you’ll find a couple of stack overflow posts as well as a couple of posts on Microsoft’s site. Those should point you in the right direction.
