Git usage

Clone repository

$ git clone URL

Switch to tag/branch

$ git checkout tags/<tag_name>

List all tags

$ git tag -l

Remove local repository

delete directory :)

Revert changes

# Revert changes to modified files.
$ git reset --hard

# Remove all untracked files and directories. (`-f` is `force`, `-d` is `remove directories`)
$ git clean -fd

Git stash

-- Stash the changes in a dirty working directory away

--  saves your local modifications away and reverts the working directory to match the HEAD commit.

$ git stash apply -- restore stashed files - you need to call git stash drop to remove files from stash!

$ git stash pop -- move files from stash into branch

Moving project to git repository

I have git repo at bitbucket

1. create repository on bitbucket via web UI
2. go to project directory folder on your machine
3. git init
4. git remote add origin "URL to repo"
5. eclipse (with egit plugin) - share project using git
6. commit & push
