Git Lesson

This lesson covers the basics of git for version control.

This lesson is for the first day of the MSSE bootcamp (CHEM280)

To make a commit ("version" or "checkpoint") of your files, following this procedure:

1. Make changes to your project that you'd like to keep.
2. When you have your changes, tell git you are ready to create a checkpoint of the file using the git add FILENAME command.
3. Create a checkpoint of your file using git commit -m "Message about what you did".

Adding features

Features should be developed on branches. To create and switch to a branch, use the command

git switch -c NEW_BRANCH_NAME

To switch to an existing branch, use

git switch BRANCH_NAME
