How to use Git - Git Video Tutorial - Part 3 (The basic file flow, rm, add, commit, gitignore)

Part 3!

Before moving onto multiple users, I am going to "slow down" and hit home the basic flow of files. This is something subtle but very important if you are to become powa-ful git masta.

Some of the commands you've seen before, some you haven't.

git add
git commit
git reset HEAD with the filename
git rm

We will also be creating a file called .gitignore to ignore some pesky files we don't want others to see or that may not be needed for the overall project.

Enjoy!

@prajsd Thanks, I think most of my videos have bigger text but you're right, I think I may have forgotten to increase my text size for the video! Sorry about that, hopefully the 720P helps a little. Take care :)

Informative video, just one suggestion. You can make the text a little more visible.

@Zorobay You are correct sir! mate stands for TextMate, a text editor. Feel free to use any editor you like, in your case it sounds like eclipse :)

according to git bash, the "mate" is not a command? I use "touch" instead, as instructed by github >.<
