Help
If you get stuck using git either during or after the course, there are lots of useful references out there.
Here are a couple of "cheat sheets" you might find useful to refer to:
- For git commands
- For unix commands
To open documentation on any git command, from the command line use:
git <command> --help
A graphical summary of key commands is shown below:
After the course you will understand the git paradigm and how to do the most important operations from the command line. Still you might prefer to use a git application with a GUI, or perhaps integrated with your editor or IDE, such as RStudio. Below is a list of such clients by operating system.
A basic demonstration of workflow in either RStudio or GitHub Desktop can be found here.
For python users, many git commands can also be used within PyCharm.
For members of CefasRepRes, further help relating to use of GitHub within the organisation can be found in the Cefas Guides.
