1 00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:05,390 Let's now quickly go over the basics of Git. 2 00:00:05,390 --> 00:00:07,930 And this video is by no means 3 00:00:07,930 --> 00:00:10,820 gonna be a complete overview of Git. 4 00:00:10,820 --> 00:00:13,410 All I want to do here is to get you started 5 00:00:13,410 --> 00:00:15,580 as quick as possible with Git, 6 00:00:15,580 --> 00:00:18,867 so that we can then push our project to GitHub. 7 00:00:20,710 --> 00:00:25,390 All right, now before we can do anything else with git, 8 00:00:25,390 --> 00:00:26,590 in each repository, 9 00:00:26,590 --> 00:00:30,193 we should have a git ignore file like this. 10 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,810 So if VS code didn't create it automatically for you, 11 00:00:34,810 --> 00:00:37,070 as it did for me in the last lecture, 12 00:00:37,070 --> 00:00:39,983 then please go ahead and create this file right now. 13 00:00:40,890 --> 00:00:42,760 So it starts with a dot, 14 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:44,570 and then Git ignore. 15 00:00:44,570 --> 00:00:46,930 And inside of this file, 16 00:00:46,930 --> 00:00:50,400 we can put all the folders and also files, 17 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,150 which we want Git to ignore, 18 00:00:53,150 --> 00:00:55,903 or in other words, folders and files 19 00:00:55,903 --> 00:00:59,660 that we do not want to get into our repository. 20 00:00:59,660 --> 00:01:03,370 And node modules is a perfect example of that. 21 00:01:03,370 --> 00:01:05,750 Because, well, we can always get 22 00:01:05,750 --> 00:01:08,890 this code back from NPM, right? 23 00:01:08,890 --> 00:01:12,230 It is not part of our original source code. 24 00:01:12,230 --> 00:01:16,870 And so therefore, we don't need it in our Git repository. 25 00:01:16,870 --> 00:01:21,390 And actually, the same is true for our dist folder. 26 00:01:21,390 --> 00:01:23,880 Right, so the dist folder, 27 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,130 essentially only contains code 28 00:01:26,130 --> 00:01:29,350 that was built from our source code. 29 00:01:29,350 --> 00:01:32,630 And so again, this is actually code 30 00:01:32,630 --> 00:01:35,770 that we do not need in our Git repository. 31 00:01:35,770 --> 00:01:37,860 So usually, in the repository, 32 00:01:37,860 --> 00:01:41,220 we only want like the original source code, 33 00:01:41,220 --> 00:01:43,290 and everything that is necessary 34 00:01:43,290 --> 00:01:48,280 in order to basically compile our final project later. 35 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,643 So let's actually also exclude the dist folder here. 36 00:01:53,700 --> 00:01:55,600 Now, this is not mandatory, 37 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,470 and some people want also to keep their dist folder 38 00:01:59,470 --> 00:02:01,340 in the Git repository. 39 00:02:01,340 --> 00:02:05,310 But personally, I think it's a good idea not to include it. 40 00:02:05,310 --> 00:02:09,460 And so you see that now, it got grayed out here as well. 41 00:02:09,460 --> 00:02:12,333 And the same for the parcel cache folder. 42 00:02:13,170 --> 00:02:14,853 So that we also don't want. 43 00:02:16,070 --> 00:02:20,163 So .parcel-cache. 44 00:02:21,090 --> 00:02:22,780 So that's gone now. 45 00:02:22,780 --> 00:02:25,030 And now here, VS code shows us 46 00:02:25,030 --> 00:02:27,560 that there are basically 28 files 47 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,613 in our repository that are pending changes. 48 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,310 So this here is enough for our Git ignore. 49 00:02:35,310 --> 00:02:37,080 Now only if you're using the Mac, 50 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:41,663 you can add one type of file here, which is the .Ds_Store, 51 00:02:46,010 --> 00:02:47,930 which is some kind of weird file 52 00:02:47,930 --> 00:02:50,963 that Mac OS sometimes adds to our directories. 53 00:02:52,610 --> 00:02:53,443 But with this here, 54 00:02:53,443 --> 00:02:57,123 I think we're already at a good starting point, okay? 55 00:02:58,580 --> 00:03:02,697 So let's now run a Git command called git status. 56 00:03:05,030 --> 00:03:06,820 And so this shows us here, 57 00:03:06,820 --> 00:03:10,570 that all of these files are untracked files. 58 00:03:10,570 --> 00:03:13,610 And we can also see that we are on branch Master, 59 00:03:13,610 --> 00:03:16,190 and that there are no commits yet. 60 00:03:16,190 --> 00:03:19,060 So all of these files here are untracked. 61 00:03:19,060 --> 00:03:21,080 And so now we need to track them, 62 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,240 which in terms of git means to add them 63 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,890 to the so called Staging area. 64 00:03:26,890 --> 00:03:29,560 So you can also see here in VS code, 65 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,080 that these files are now untracked. 66 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,023 So that's what this U stands for. 67 00:03:35,230 --> 00:03:38,350 Okay, but now, let's add all these files 68 00:03:38,350 --> 00:03:43,090 to the staging area by saying git add, 69 00:03:43,090 --> 00:03:47,880 and then dash A, which stands for all the files. 70 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,260 Now, we could also add files manually. 71 00:03:50,260 --> 00:03:54,400 So one by one, but usually that's never necessary. 72 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,690 So I will simply add all of my files now. 73 00:03:57,690 --> 00:04:01,623 And so these files are now basically part of the repository. 74 00:04:02,500 --> 00:04:05,880 Okay, and so now here it says, edit. 75 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,850 And so these files are now basically tracked, 76 00:04:08,850 --> 00:04:09,973 they are active. 77 00:04:11,350 --> 00:04:15,600 Okay, then let's say we do some change in one of them, 78 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,113 let's say in the controller, 79 00:04:18,270 --> 00:04:20,450 let's just log something to the console 80 00:04:20,450 --> 00:04:24,643 in the init function, let's say welcome. 81 00:04:25,700 --> 00:04:30,260 And so now you see that this file was modified, right? 82 00:04:30,260 --> 00:04:33,550 And also immediately here on the sidebar, 83 00:04:33,550 --> 00:04:36,620 VS code tells us that something has changed. 84 00:04:36,620 --> 00:04:39,420 And so green here means that something was added. 85 00:04:39,420 --> 00:04:42,800 And when we click that, we can actually see the change. 86 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,483 So the plus here means that something was added. 87 00:04:47,620 --> 00:04:49,903 And if we see git status now again, 88 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,860 you will see that all of these files here, 89 00:04:54,860 --> 00:04:56,890 are ready to be committed. 90 00:04:56,890 --> 00:04:58,940 So they are being tracked, 91 00:04:58,940 --> 00:05:02,090 and then there's this modified file. 92 00:05:02,090 --> 00:05:04,550 And so in order to now commit all these files 93 00:05:04,550 --> 00:05:09,550 to our Git repository, I need to run git add all again. 94 00:05:11,790 --> 00:05:15,743 So now you see that it is back to just being added. 95 00:05:16,740 --> 00:05:19,370 And also this green bar here is gone. 96 00:05:19,370 --> 00:05:21,180 All right, and so now we're ready 97 00:05:21,180 --> 00:05:24,070 to finally commit these files. 98 00:05:24,070 --> 00:05:26,460 And committing the files basically means 99 00:05:26,460 --> 00:05:28,920 that we really save the modifications 100 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,320 of all the files to the repository. 101 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,530 So adding the files, like this here, 102 00:05:34,530 --> 00:05:38,530 is basically just a pre step before the commit. 103 00:05:38,530 --> 00:05:41,370 So a commit is gonna be like a snapshot 104 00:05:41,370 --> 00:05:44,690 of your code at a certain point in time. 105 00:05:44,690 --> 00:05:46,670 So each time before you make some 106 00:05:46,670 --> 00:05:49,090 significant changes to your codebase, 107 00:05:49,090 --> 00:05:50,720 you should always commit. 108 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,720 And so then, if necessary, 109 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,100 you can go back to past commits, 110 00:05:55,100 --> 00:05:57,830 and delete any modifications that you did 111 00:05:57,830 --> 00:05:59,610 that were maybe wrong. 112 00:05:59,610 --> 00:06:01,860 And we will see how to do that actually later 113 00:06:01,860 --> 00:06:03,410 in this lecture. 114 00:06:03,410 --> 00:06:07,240 But for now, let's commit what we already have here. 115 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:12,240 So git commit, then dash M, which stands for message. 116 00:06:13,710 --> 00:06:16,120 And then here, we need to specify a string, 117 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,400 which is the commit message. 118 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,060 And so usually, the first commit is always 119 00:06:21,060 --> 00:06:25,910 gonna be called initial commit, like this. 120 00:06:25,910 --> 00:06:28,350 Now, okay, and that's it. 121 00:06:28,350 --> 00:06:30,090 Now, they're all committed. 122 00:06:30,090 --> 00:06:33,240 And you see that all the files, 123 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,053 now look normal here again. 124 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,533 All right, and if we now take a look again, at git status, 125 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,050 then you will see that there is nothing to commit, 126 00:06:44,050 --> 00:06:45,843 and the working tree is clean. 127 00:06:46,850 --> 00:06:48,970 Alright, so in summary, 128 00:06:48,970 --> 00:06:52,500 whenever we initialize a new Git repository, 129 00:06:52,500 --> 00:06:56,220 usually I immediately add all the files, 130 00:06:56,220 --> 00:06:59,700 so I do git in it, then after that, 131 00:06:59,700 --> 00:07:02,490 immediately I run this command. 132 00:07:02,490 --> 00:07:04,750 So Git at all the files. 133 00:07:04,750 --> 00:07:06,670 And then immediately after that, 134 00:07:06,670 --> 00:07:10,563 I commit everything as the initial commit, all right? 135 00:07:12,700 --> 00:07:15,810 Now, let's say that we do some modifications here, 136 00:07:15,810 --> 00:07:17,660 in multiple files. 137 00:07:17,660 --> 00:07:20,143 But we actually introduce some kind of a bug, 138 00:07:21,090 --> 00:07:22,920 not writing any real code, 139 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,543 I will just put a bug here now. 140 00:07:26,420 --> 00:07:28,480 And it turns red, because I have 141 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,913 a special VS code extension for that. 142 00:07:31,820 --> 00:07:34,000 And let's say I also have now some error 143 00:07:36,610 --> 00:07:37,613 here in the model. 144 00:07:38,890 --> 00:07:41,740 Okay, and so this is just to simulate 145 00:07:41,740 --> 00:07:44,860 that we introduced some real bucks. 146 00:07:44,860 --> 00:07:47,980 So if you wanted to go back on all of these files 147 00:07:47,980 --> 00:07:49,690 to the previous commit, 148 00:07:49,690 --> 00:07:54,690 then you could simply write git reset, 149 00:07:54,830 --> 00:07:59,180 then dash dash, hard, and then HEAD, 150 00:07:59,180 --> 00:08:01,300 all in uppercase like this. 151 00:08:01,300 --> 00:08:03,490 And now watch what happens to this file 152 00:08:03,490 --> 00:08:05,193 as this command is executed. 153 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,780 So, you see that it's gone. 154 00:08:09,780 --> 00:08:13,090 And to two files here that previously had the M, 155 00:08:13,090 --> 00:08:16,620 for modified, are also now back to normal. 156 00:08:16,620 --> 00:08:20,850 And debug that we introduced here, is also gone. 157 00:08:20,850 --> 00:08:23,740 All right, and so this is the easiest way 158 00:08:23,740 --> 00:08:28,460 to going back in time, basically, to the previous commit. 159 00:08:28,460 --> 00:08:31,503 But now, let's say that you actually had already committed. 160 00:08:33,150 --> 00:08:35,680 So let's say that here, you now had an alert, 161 00:08:35,680 --> 00:08:38,470 which says, hacked. 162 00:08:38,470 --> 00:08:41,360 And it doesn't really matter what code it is. 163 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,280 But let's say this is another bug 164 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,990 that you introduced for some reason. 165 00:08:45,990 --> 00:08:49,223 But you didn't really notice that it was happening. 166 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:51,793 So let's say here as well. 167 00:08:53,450 --> 00:08:55,010 All right, so you see now 168 00:08:55,010 --> 00:08:56,903 these two files are modified. 169 00:08:58,750 --> 00:09:02,160 And now you want to commit these changes. 170 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,790 So you think you added a great new feature. 171 00:09:04,790 --> 00:09:07,780 But actually, you just introduced a bug, 172 00:09:07,780 --> 00:09:10,380 which allows users to get hacked. 173 00:09:10,380 --> 00:09:13,640 But anyway, you don't know that yet, let's say. 174 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:17,370 And so you add all the files to the staging area, 175 00:09:17,370 --> 00:09:20,160 and then you do git commit 176 00:09:21,260 --> 00:09:25,103 with the message of new feature. 177 00:09:27,590 --> 00:09:31,853 Okay, and so now these modified here are gone. 178 00:09:32,750 --> 00:09:35,190 And our code is now committed. 179 00:09:35,190 --> 00:09:37,700 Now, let's say you keep working on the code. 180 00:09:37,700 --> 00:09:41,230 But eventually you notice that you have these bugs here, 181 00:09:41,230 --> 00:09:43,740 which allow users to get hacked. 182 00:09:43,740 --> 00:09:46,200 And so you want to basically now delete 183 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,170 the last commit that you did, right? 184 00:09:49,170 --> 00:09:51,493 So you want to go back to the previous commit. 185 00:09:52,580 --> 00:09:53,440 So to do that, 186 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,960 you need to take a look at that previous commit 187 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,973 and you can do git log for that. 188 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,130 So here you have basically a log 189 00:10:04,130 --> 00:10:06,990 of all the commits that you did. 190 00:10:06,990 --> 00:10:08,660 So this one is the last one. 191 00:10:08,660 --> 00:10:09,853 So the new feature. 192 00:10:12,530 --> 00:10:15,210 And it has basically this ID here. 193 00:10:15,210 --> 00:10:17,990 And so this has currently the head. 194 00:10:17,990 --> 00:10:19,310 And so that's why previously 195 00:10:19,310 --> 00:10:22,960 we could reset using this head keyword. 196 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,380 But now you want to go back to this commit, 197 00:10:25,380 --> 00:10:28,490 so to the initial commit, right? 198 00:10:28,490 --> 00:10:32,700 And so let's copy this ID here, basically. 199 00:10:32,700 --> 00:10:35,960 And it would be enough to take the last seven here, 200 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,790 but I like to simply copy everything. 201 00:10:38,790 --> 00:10:40,740 So select and copy. 202 00:10:40,740 --> 00:10:43,740 And now to get out of this log here, 203 00:10:43,740 --> 00:10:46,853 you need to type a Q, so Q for quit. 204 00:10:47,870 --> 00:10:51,070 Okay, so Ctrl C will not work there, 205 00:10:51,070 --> 00:10:53,700 you have to use key like this. 206 00:10:53,700 --> 00:10:56,993 And sometimes you even need like, colon and Q. 207 00:10:58,140 --> 00:11:02,690 But anyway, let's now do again, git reset, 208 00:11:02,690 --> 00:11:06,173 hard, and then the ID of that commit. 209 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:08,273 So let's see. 210 00:11:09,180 --> 00:11:12,389 And now that hacked log is gone from here, 211 00:11:12,389 --> 00:11:14,530 and from here as well. 212 00:11:14,530 --> 00:11:18,450 And so we are now back in that initial commit. 213 00:11:18,450 --> 00:11:22,020 And indeed, that's what is set right here. 214 00:11:22,020 --> 00:11:24,703 So the head is now at the initial commit. 215 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,070 However, moving between commits like this 216 00:11:29,070 --> 00:11:30,590 is a little bit dangerous. 217 00:11:30,590 --> 00:11:34,400 And so instead, when we plan on doing a lot of changes, 218 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,313 usually, we simply create a new branch. 219 00:11:38,180 --> 00:11:42,400 So let's write git branch. 220 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:43,820 And this will simply list 221 00:11:43,820 --> 00:11:46,570 all the branches that we currently have. 222 00:11:46,570 --> 00:11:49,640 And so right now, we only have the master branch. 223 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:53,030 And the star here means that that's the branch 224 00:11:53,030 --> 00:11:54,950 that we are currently in. 225 00:11:54,950 --> 00:11:57,773 And now again, to close this, you need to write a Q. 226 00:12:00,190 --> 00:12:04,320 Okay, but now let's create a new branch. 227 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,840 And so that new branch is then basically 228 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,980 going to be a copy of the current master branch, 229 00:12:09,980 --> 00:12:13,940 in which we can develop new codes and adding new features, 230 00:12:13,940 --> 00:12:15,790 but without affecting the codes 231 00:12:15,790 --> 00:12:17,770 that is in the master branch. 232 00:12:17,770 --> 00:12:20,170 So it's basically a parallel track 233 00:12:20,170 --> 00:12:22,300 in which we can develop new code, 234 00:12:22,300 --> 00:12:26,000 but without affecting the original code that we had before, 235 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,750 and which we knew was already working. 236 00:12:28,750 --> 00:12:31,420 And so this is a great way of preventing bugs 237 00:12:31,420 --> 00:12:33,830 in our main code base. 238 00:12:33,830 --> 00:12:35,463 So we create a new branch, 239 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,223 by writing again, git branch, but then here, 240 00:12:40,223 --> 00:12:44,400 we can also specify now the name of the branch. 241 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,683 So let's call this one new-feature. 242 00:12:48,850 --> 00:12:51,510 Okay, so we created a new branch, 243 00:12:51,510 --> 00:12:54,890 but we didn't switch to that new branch yet. 244 00:12:54,890 --> 00:12:56,840 So to switch to that branch, 245 00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:01,823 we write git checkout, and then the name of the branch. 246 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,393 And so it says switched to branch new feature. 247 00:13:09,850 --> 00:13:12,460 So let's quickly add some modifications here, 248 00:13:12,460 --> 00:13:14,053 let's add a new function. 249 00:13:17,073 --> 00:13:19,656 Newfeature is simply a function 250 00:13:23,790 --> 00:13:25,520 which logs to the console 251 00:13:26,690 --> 00:13:31,113 Welcome to the application. 252 00:13:33,810 --> 00:13:37,290 Okay, and we also delete this code from here. 253 00:13:37,290 --> 00:13:40,943 And then we want to call that function down here. 254 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,660 So, nothing significant. 255 00:13:43,660 --> 00:13:45,860 This is again, just to simulate. 256 00:13:45,860 --> 00:13:48,770 So this one turned now a green 257 00:13:48,770 --> 00:13:51,770 because we changed something from the original code. 258 00:13:51,770 --> 00:13:55,610 And here it is orange, because we changed something. 259 00:13:55,610 --> 00:13:58,260 And if we were to delete something, for example, 260 00:13:58,260 --> 00:14:03,260 then it should turn red, which right now is not happening. 261 00:14:03,798 --> 00:14:05,560 But anyway, if we click here, 262 00:14:05,560 --> 00:14:08,900 we can see exactly what the code looked like before. 263 00:14:08,900 --> 00:14:10,573 So these two lines of code are gone 264 00:14:10,573 --> 00:14:12,143 and this one is new. 265 00:14:12,990 --> 00:14:15,690 And so this in itself, can be very handy 266 00:14:15,690 --> 00:14:17,783 and a great use case of Git. 267 00:14:19,090 --> 00:14:22,763 But anyway, let's put this very important line here back. 268 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:29,040 Okay, and so let's now add this change to the staging area. 269 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:34,240 So Git add all. 270 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,300 So we always have to do this before committing, 271 00:14:37,300 --> 00:14:41,433 and then git commit message, 272 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:47,213 then edit new welcome feature. 273 00:14:49,481 --> 00:14:52,460 All right, and that's it. 274 00:14:52,460 --> 00:14:54,770 So we just created a new feature, 275 00:14:54,770 --> 00:14:59,770 but this new feature is now in this new feature brand. 276 00:15:00,130 --> 00:15:02,550 So let's check that out again. 277 00:15:02,550 --> 00:15:04,983 So git branch, 278 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,070 and so now we have these two branches. 279 00:15:08,070 --> 00:15:11,960 So master and new feature, and this one is the current one. 280 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,453 Then again, Q to Exodus. 281 00:15:15,670 --> 00:15:20,320 And now once we are done with this new imaginary feature, 282 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,780 let's switch back to the master branch, 283 00:15:22,780 --> 00:15:25,570 so that we can then integrate these changes 284 00:15:25,570 --> 00:15:27,690 into our main code base. 285 00:15:27,690 --> 00:15:30,640 So which again, is in the master branch. 286 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:35,640 So that is git checkout, and master. 287 00:15:36,220 --> 00:15:38,310 And so now, as I execute this, 288 00:15:38,310 --> 00:15:41,530 you will see this code here going away, 289 00:15:41,530 --> 00:15:44,080 because that is the way the code looked like 290 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,210 in the master branch. 291 00:15:46,210 --> 00:15:48,300 Okay, and so this proves 292 00:15:48,300 --> 00:15:51,920 that there are now really like two different tracks 293 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,550 with different versions of the code. 294 00:15:54,550 --> 00:15:56,647 So in the master branch, we have this code. 295 00:15:56,647 --> 00:16:00,620 And in the other branch, we have that code that we just saw, 296 00:16:00,620 --> 00:16:02,900 and that just disappeared. 297 00:16:02,900 --> 00:16:06,590 But now we can then merge these changes together. 298 00:16:06,590 --> 00:16:08,760 So when we are in the branch 299 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:12,210 into which we want to add the new code, 300 00:16:12,210 --> 00:16:16,880 we can use Git merge, and then the name of the branch, 301 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:18,990 which contains the new code 302 00:16:18,990 --> 00:16:21,960 that we want to merge with the current branch. 303 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,370 And so that is the new feature branch. 304 00:16:25,370 --> 00:16:28,373 And so now watch what happens here. 305 00:16:30,928 --> 00:16:35,670 Okay, so you see that this code here was just added. 306 00:16:35,670 --> 00:16:39,170 And down here is also this small summary. 307 00:16:39,170 --> 00:16:42,270 So you see, there were six modifications, 308 00:16:42,270 --> 00:16:45,300 five additions, so five lines were added, 309 00:16:45,300 --> 00:16:46,943 and one line was deleted. 310 00:16:47,870 --> 00:16:50,270 And now just to make sure that our working tree 311 00:16:50,270 --> 00:16:51,830 is still clean, 312 00:16:51,830 --> 00:16:53,980 so that we don't have to commit anything, 313 00:16:53,980 --> 00:16:58,050 let's again watch git status. 314 00:16:58,050 --> 00:17:00,110 And you see there is nothing to commit, 315 00:17:00,110 --> 00:17:02,280 the working tree is clean. 316 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,800 And so the code that we have in this branch, 317 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:06,200 so in the master branch, 318 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,860 is now the same as in the new feature branch. 319 00:17:09,860 --> 00:17:14,860 Okay, so this is a great feature to basically build code, 320 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,880 but without affecting our original code, 321 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:22,080 which might break with the changes that we are introducing. 322 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,620 And so usually, we never work in the master branch, 323 00:17:25,620 --> 00:17:28,930 and simply add features in a different new branch. 324 00:17:28,930 --> 00:17:30,600 And then once we're done, 325 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,170 we merge these two branches together. 326 00:17:33,170 --> 00:17:36,960 And then if there is some error, or something not working, 327 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,350 we can always go back to what it was before. 328 00:17:40,350 --> 00:17:43,330 All right, and that's all I had to show you 329 00:17:43,330 --> 00:17:45,873 in this short introduction to Git. 330 00:17:46,900 --> 00:17:49,090 And if you want to learn even more, 331 00:17:49,090 --> 00:17:52,860 or maybe have all of these commands that I just showed you, 332 00:17:52,860 --> 00:17:54,520 in one nice overview, 333 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:58,240 there's actually a very handy cheat sheet forget, 334 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:02,093 that was developed by GitHub, which I really like to use. 335 00:18:03,220 --> 00:18:05,527 So let's search for GitHub, 336 00:18:08,380 --> 00:18:11,523 Git Cheat Sheet. 337 00:18:13,470 --> 00:18:16,423 Okay, and this one is probably it. 338 00:18:18,630 --> 00:18:21,180 This one looks a bit different than the one I mean. 339 00:18:23,190 --> 00:18:25,500 Yeah, this is the one that I have. 340 00:18:25,500 --> 00:18:27,920 And actually, when I first found this, 341 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,370 I even printed this out and put it on my desk, 342 00:18:31,370 --> 00:18:34,303 because there's a lot of stuff that we can do. 343 00:18:35,620 --> 00:18:39,660 So here is what I just showed you with the branches, right? 344 00:18:39,660 --> 00:18:43,073 Then here is Git status, Git add, Git init. 345 00:18:45,100 --> 00:18:48,793 And, yeah, also Git reset-hard. 346 00:18:51,090 --> 00:18:54,720 And so you see, there is a lot of stuff that we can do. 347 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:55,900 And in the next video, 348 00:18:55,900 --> 00:18:59,930 we will then actually use these commands here. 349 00:18:59,930 --> 00:19:03,520 So Git push and Git pull, 350 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,660 so that we can basically copy 351 00:19:05,660 --> 00:19:08,760 our local repository onto a repository 352 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,790 that lives in the cloud on GitHub. 353 00:19:11,790 --> 00:19:15,150 And this will then allow us to basically keep a backup 354 00:19:15,150 --> 00:19:17,820 of our repository online. 355 00:19:17,820 --> 00:19:21,080 And it will also enable us to automatically deploy 356 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,590 or site from this repository 357 00:19:23,590 --> 00:19:26,903 by setting up continuous integration on Netlify. 358 00:19:27,790 --> 00:19:30,070 And so let's learn how to do that. 359 00:19:30,070 --> 00:19:34,003 So how to push our code to GitHub right in the next lecture.
