Version control with git

I've used UberSVN and TortoiseSVN for version control before, but I figured this time I will join the rest of the world and start using git.

I've played around with git before, but never started using it for real.  Why? I don't know. I'm sort of an idiot that doesn't version control a lot of my software. I would use subversion for work stuff, but for my own personal projects, I just build the software outright.  Generally, I don't really take on giant projects to pursue in my free time.

Anyway, here are my notes for setting up git.

Download

Unpack and then navigate over to your powershell window. It doesn't matter if you are inside your virutalenv.

Initialize git:

(django-jay) PS C:\Python27\home\jtarlecki\djcode\django-jay> git init

Add the project:

(django-jay) PS C:\Python27\home\jtarlecki\djcode\django-jay> git add rebates

Commit the project with a message (-m):

(django-jay) PS C:\Python27\home\jtarlecki\djcode\django-jay> git commit -m 'Initial commit of rebate_info api'

If you don't already have a git repository online, make one.  When you have one, create an online 'origin' for the local project.

(django-jay) PS C:\Python27\home\jtarlecki\djcode\django-jay> git remote add origin https://github.com/jtarlecki/rebate_info.git

Check on the origin:

(django-jay) PS C:\Python27\home\jtarlecki\djcode\django-jay> git remote -v

origin  https://github.com/jtarlecki/rebate_info.git (fetch)
origin  https://github.com/jtarlecki/rebate_info.git (push)

Push the code to your git repository.

(django-jay) PS C:\Python27\home\jtarlecki\djcode\django-jay> git push -u origin master

Magic.
