git

Setup

git config --global user.name "Christian M. Schmid"
git config --global user.email "xxxx@xxx.xxx"
git config --global color.ui auto`

Initial Creation

git init
git remote add origin git@git.vs56.net:christian/NAME.git
...
git push --set-upstream origin main # First push of commits
git clone git@git.vs56.net:christian/NAME.git

Working Solo with One Branch

git add -A # Stage all files
git add FILENAME # Stage a file
git checkout FILENAME # Revert a file
git commit -m "MESSAGE" # Commit all staged changes
git push # push to main branch to origin
git push REMOTE BRANCH # push BRANCH to REMOTE
git pull

Branching

git branch # Show branches
git branch new-branch # Create branch
git branch -m OLD_NAME NEW_NAME # Rename branch
git checkout -b NAME # Create and switch branch

Handcarry old Git to Forgejo

If you have a clone of the repo on the computer already:

git remote set-url me "git@git.vs56.net:/mnt/Vault/oldgit/NAME.git"
git pull me
git remote remove me
git branch -m master main
git remote add origin git@git.vs56.net:christian/NAME.git
git push --set-upstream origin main

If you want to carry it over

git clone "git@me.vs56.net:/mnt/Vault/oldgit/2019_09_18_Oma_Briefe.git"
git remote remove origin
git branch -m master main
git remote add "origin" ssh://git@home.vs56.net/christian/Omas-Briefe.git
git push --set-upstream origin main
