Git / GitHub Cheat Sheet

This mainly for my reference!

Checkout a repo from GitHub

git clone git@github.com:[username]/[project name].git

Add single file 

git add [FILENAME] 

Add everything and all sub dirs  

git add .

Also wild characters

git add *.c

Locally commit the files / staging 

git commit -m "commit message goes here" 

Commit back to github

git push origin master 

Get the latest changes from github

git pull

Forking your own git project

- Make a new project (don't auto generate a readme)

- Clone it locally

- Navigate to the dir and 

git remote add upstream https://github.com/[repo name]/[Project want to clone] 

git fetch upstream
