Any questions so far?

I will answer questions about the material covered so far. If some things didn't make sense, the practice we will do together should help clarify everything.

Let's try it together

Now we will put into practice what you just learnt: we will create a project, put it under version control, and start recording its history.

The key commands for this lesson are:

  • git init, which initiates a Git repository,
  • git status, git add, git commit, git diff, git log, and git show, which you read about in the previous lesson.

This is what our live session might look like:

cd /path/to/suitable/dir
mkdir snow_level
cd snow_level
pwd

git init
git status

mkdir data ms output src
git status

nano src/script.py
git status

git add src/script.py
git status

git commit -m $'Initial commit\n
\n
Add first draft of Python script'

git status
git log

nano ms/paper.md
git status
git add .
git status
git commit -m "Add first draft of manuscript"
git status

nano src/script.py
git status
git add src/script.py
git status
git diff
git diff --cached
git diff HEAD

git log
git show HEAD
