Using Github from command line

June 11th, 2016

This assumes that you have all the permissions needed to access your repo, (passwords and so on).

Start Git Shell and navigate to your local repo.

Create a branch

git checkout -b <branch-name>
git push <remote-name> <branch-name>

In the case of github the remote name is ‘origin’

Source

Add your changes to the branch

git add .

The ‘.’ means ‘everything’ that was changed.

You can use ‘status’ to check what needs to be staged, (or what has been staged).

git status

Commit branch

git commit -m "You message here"

Push branch
The first time you need to tell where you are pushing this to.

git push --set-upstream <remote-name> <branch-name>

The afterwards you just need to do…

git push

Delete your branch

To remotely delete it

git push <remote-name> --delete <branch-name>

To locally delete it


git branch --delete <branch-name>
