Overview

Covers two common workflows for git -

• Multiple commits per branch (the "classic" workflow)
• A Single Commit per branch (with amend and push-force)

Common Steps

Step	Aliases or other Tools	Command in Terminal or Git-Bash	Comments
(Clone the Repo.)		git clone <URL_FROM_GITLAB>
Create New Branch and Switch to it		git fetch (--prune) git switch -c <NEW_BRANCH> origin/<BASE_BRANCH>	To create the branch via GitLab UI, see the full Workflow

Create Initial Commit

Use a Git-Client

(don't use the IDE)

git status
git diff
git add <FILE>
git commit -m "<COMMIT_MESSAGE>"

DO NOT USE:

git add *
git add .

(I will slap you) Push Initial Commit to Remote Branch

git push

OR:

git push -u origin <NEW_BRANCH>
