Setup Local Git Repo

If you are working on some confidential project, it is not a good idea to use github to do the version control and backup. A local repository may be necessary for such purpose.

For example, repository will be created locally under USB disk /media/usb/repo Working directory is under /home/jun/code

$ cd /media/usb/repo
$ git init --bare safe.git
$ cd /home/jun
$ git clone /media/usb/repo/safe.git code

Then we do a test to see whether it works.

$ cd /home/jun/code
$ echo "This is a test file" > test.txt
$ git add test.txt
$ git commit -m "What a wonderful world to commit!"
$ git push

It’s done~~

Additional providing some useful git commands.

$ git init
$ git init --bare myproject.git

$ git config -l
$ git config --global user.name "yourname"
$ git config --global user.email "yourname@somewhere"
$ git config --global core.editor vim
$ git config --global merge.tool vimdiff
$ git config --global push.default simple

$ git add .
$ git commit -m "First commit"
$ git commit --amend
$ git push
$ git pull
$ git checkout FILENAME
$ git checkout BRANCHNAME
$ git branch BRANCHNAME
$ git rm --cached FILENAME
$ git stash
$ git stash pop
# git reset HEAD
