The clone is on an equal footing with the original project, possessing its own copy of the original project’s history.</p></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>Bob then makes some changes and commits them:</p></div> <div class="listingblock"> <div class="content"> <pre><code>(edit files) bob$ git commit -a (repeat as necessary)</code></pre> </div></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>When he’s ready, he tells Alice to pull changes from the repository at /home/bob/myrepo. She does this with:</p></div> <div class="listingblock"> <div class="content"> <pre><code>alice$ cd /home/alice/project alice$ git pull /home/bob/myrepo master</code></pre> </div></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>This merges the changes from Bob’s "master" branch into Alice’s current branch. If Alice has made her own changes in the meantime, then she may need to manually fix any conflicts.</p></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>The "pull" command thus performs two operations: it fetches changes from a remote branch, then merges them into the current branch.</p></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>Note that in general, Alice would want her local changes committed before initiating this "pull". If Bob’s work conflicts with what Alice did since their histories forked, Alice will use her working tree and the index to resolve conflicts, and existing local changes will interfere with the conflict resolution process (Git will still perform the fetch but will refuse to merge --- Alice will have to get rid of her local changes in some way and pull again when this happens).</p></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>Alice can peek at what Bob did without merging first, using the "fetch" command; this allows Alice to inspect what Bob did, using a special symbol "FETCH_HEAD", in order to determine if he has anything worth pulling, like this:</p></div> <div class="listingblock"> <div class="content"> <pre><code>alice$ git fetch /home/bob/myrepo master alice$ git log -p HEAD..FETCH_HEAD</code></pre> </div></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>This operation is safe even if Alice has uncommitted local changes. The range notation "HEAD..FETCH_HEAD" means "show everything that is reachable from the FETCH_HEAD but exclude anything that is reachable from HEAD". Alice already knows everything that leads to her current state (HEAD), and reviews what Bob has in his state (FETCH_HEAD) that she has not seen with this command.</p></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>If Alice wants to visualize what Bob did since their histories forked she can issue the following command:</p></div> <div class="listingblock"> <div class="content"> <pre><code>$ gitk HEAD..FETCH_HEAD</code></pre> </div></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>This uses the same two-dot range notation we saw earlier with <em>git log</em>.</p></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>Alice may want to view what both of them did since they forked. She can use three-dot form instead of the two-dot form:</p></div> <div class="listingblock"> <div class="content"> <pre><code>$ gitk HEAD...FETCH_HEAD</code></pre> </div></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>This means "show everything that is reachable from either one, but exclude anything that is reachable from both of them".</p></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>Please note that these range notation can be used with both gitk and "git log".</p></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>After inspecting what Bob did, if there is nothing urgent, Alice may decide to continue working without pulling from Bob. If Bob’s history does have something Alice would immediately need, Alice may choose to stash her work-in-progress first, do a "pull", and then finally unstash her work-in-progress on top of the resulting history.</p></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>When you are working in a small closely knit group, it is not unusual to interact with the same repository over and over again. By defining <em>remote</em> repository shorthand, you can make it easier:</p></div> <div class="listingblock"> <div class="content"> <pre><code>alice$ git remote add bob /home/bob/myrepo</code></pre> </div></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>With this, Alice can perform the first part of the "pull" operation alone using the <em>git fetch</em> command without merging them with her own branch, using:</p></div> <div class="listingblock"> <div class="content"> <pre><code>alice$ git fetch bob</code></pre> </div></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>Unlike the longhand form, when Alice fetches from Bob using a remote repository shorthand set up with <em>git remote</em>, what was fetched is stored in a remote-tracking branch, in this case <code>bob/master</code>. So after this:</p></div> <div class="listingblock"> <div class="content"> <pre><code>alice$ git log -p master..bob/master</code></pre> </div></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>shows a list of all the changes that Bob made since he branched from Alice’s master branch.</p></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>After examining those changes, Alice could merge the changes into her master branch:</p></div> <div class="listingblock"> <div class="content"> <pre><code>alice$ git merge bob/master</code></pre> </div></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>This <code>merge</code> can also be done by <em>pulling from her own remote-tracking branch</em>, like this:</p></div> <div class="listingblock"> <div class="content"> <pre><code>alice$ git pull . remotes/bob/master</code></pre> </div></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>Note that git pull always merges into the current branch, regardless of what else is given on the command line.</p></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>Later, Bob can update his repo with Alice’s latest changes using</p></div> <div class="listingblock"> <div class="content"> <pre><code>bob$ git pull</code></pre> </div></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>Note that he doesn’t need to give the path to Alice’s repository; when Bob cloned Alice’s repository, Git stored the location of her repository in the repository configuration, and that location is used for pulls:</p></div> <div class="listingblock"> <div class="content"> <pre><code>bob$ git config --get remote.origin.url /home/alice/project</code></pre> </div></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>(The complete configuration created by <em>git clone</em> is visible using <code>git config -l</code>, and the <a href="git-config.html">git-config(1)</a> man page explains the meaning of each option.)</p></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>Git also keeps a pristine copy of Alice’s master branch under the name "origin/master":</p></div> <div class="listingblock"> <div class="content"> <pre><code>bob$ git branch -r origin/master</code></pre> </div></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>If Bob later decides to work from a different host, he can still perform clones and pulls using the ssh protocol:</p></div> <div class="listingblock"> <div class="content"> <pre><code>bob$ git clone alice.org:/home/alice/project myrepo</code></pre> </div></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>Alternatively, Git has a native protocol, or can use rsync or http; see <a href="git-pull.html">git-pull(1)</a> for details.</p></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>Git can also be used in a CVS-like mode, with a central repository that various users push changes to; see <a href="git-push.html">git-push(1)</a> and <a href="gitcvs-migration.html">gitcvs-migration(7)</a>.</p></div> </div> </div> <div class="sect1"> <h2 id="_exploring_history">Exploring history</h2> <div class="sectionbody"> <div class="paragraph"><p>Git history is represented as a series of interrelated commits. We have already seen that the <em>git log</em> command can list those commits. Note that first line of each git log entry also gives a name for the commit:</p></div> <div class="listingblock"> <div class="content"> <pre><code>$ git log commit c82a22c39cbc32576f64f5c6b3f24b99ea8149c7 Author: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> Date: Tue May 16 17:18:22 2006 -0700 merge-base: Clarify the comments on post processing.</code></pre> </div></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>We can give this name to <em>git show</em> to see the details about this commit.</p></div> <div class="listingblock"> <div class="content"> <pre><code>$ git show c82a22c39cbc32576f64f5c6b3f24b99ea8149c7</code></pre> </div></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>But there are other ways to refer to commits. You can use any initial part of the name that is long enough to uniquely identify the commit:</p></div> <div class="listingblock"> <div class="content"> <pre><code>$ git show c82a22c39c # the first few characters of the name are # usually enough $ git show HEAD # the tip of the current branch $ git show experimental # the tip of the "experimental" branch</code></pre> </div></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>Every commit usually has one "parent" commit which points to the previous state of the project:</p></div> <div class="listingblock"> <div class="content"> <pre><code>$ git show HEAD^ # to see the parent of HEAD $ git show HEAD^^ # to see the grandparent of HEAD $ git show HEAD~4 # to see the great-great grandparent of HEAD</code></pre> </div></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>Note that merge commits may have more than one parent:</p></div> <div class="listingblock"> <div class="content"> <pre><code>$ git show HEAD^1 # show the first parent of HEAD (same as HEAD^) $ git show HEAD^2 # show the second parent of HEAD</code></pre> </div></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>You can also give commits names of your own; after running</p></div> <div class="listingblock"> <div class="content"> <pre><code>$ git tag v2.5 1b2e1d63ff</code></pre> </div></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>you can refer to 1b2e1d63ff by the name "v2.5". If you intend to share this name with other people (for example, to identify a release version), you should create a "tag" object, and perhaps sign it; see <a href="git-tag.html">git-tag(1)</a> for details.</p></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>Any Git command that needs to know a commit can take any of these names. For example:</p></div> <div class="listingblock"> <div class="content"> <pre><code>$ git diff v2.5 HEAD # compare the current HEAD to v2.5 $ git branch stable v2.5 # start a new branch named "stable" based # at v2.5 $ git reset --hard HEAD^ # reset your current branch and working # directory to its state at HEAD^</code></pre> </div></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>Be careful with that last command: in addition to losing any changes in the working directory, it will also remove all later commits from this branch. If this branch is the only branch containing those commits, they will be lost. Also, don’t use <em>git reset</em> on a publicly-visible branch that other developers pull from, as it will force needless merges on other developers to clean up the history. If you need to undo changes that you have pushed, use <em>git revert</em> instead.</p></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>The <em>git grep</em> command can search for strings in any version of your project, so</p></div> <div class="listingblock"> <div class="content"> <pre><code>$ git grep "hello" v2.5</code></pre> </div></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>searches for all occurrences of "hello" in v2.5.</p></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>If you leave out the commit name, <em>git grep</em> will search any of the files it manages in your current directory. So</p></div> <div class="listingblock"> <div class="content"> <pre><code>$ git grep "hello"</code></pre> </div></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>is a quick way to search just the files that are tracked by Git.</p></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>Many Git commands also take sets of commits, which can be specified in a number of ways. Here are some examples with <em>git log</em>:</p></div> <div class="listingblock"> <div class="content"> <pre><code>$ git log v2.5..v2.6 # commits between v2.5 and v2.6 $ git log v2.5.. # commits since v2.5 $ git log --since="2 weeks ago" # commits from the last 2 weeks $ git log v2.5.. Makefile # commits since v2.5 which modify # Makefile</code></pre> </div></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>You can also give <em>git log</em> a "range" of commits where the first is not necessarily an ancestor of the second; for example, if the tips of the branches "stable" and "master" diverged from a common commit some time ago, then</p></div> <div class="listingblock"> <div class="content"> <pre><code>$ git log stable..master</code></pre> </div></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>will list commits made in the master branch but not in the stable branch, while</p></div> <div class="listingblock"> <div class="content"> <pre><code>$ git log master..stable</code></pre> </div></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>will show the list of commits made on the stable branch but not the master branch.</p></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>The <em>git log</em> command has a weakness: it must present commits in a list. When the history has lines of development that diverged and then merged back together, the order in which <em>git log</em> presents those commits is meaningless.</p></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>Most projects with multiple contributors (such as the Linux kernel, or Git itself) have frequent merges, and <em>gitk</em> does a better job of visualizing their history. For example,</p></div> <div class="listingblock"> <div class="content"> <pre><code>$ gitk --since="2 weeks ago" drivers/</code></pre> </div></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>allows you to browse any commits from the last 2 weeks of commits that modified files under the "drivers" directory. (Note: you can adjust gitk’s fonts by holding down the control key while pressing "-" or "+".)</p></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>Finally, most commands that take filenames will optionally allow you to precede any filename by a commit, to specify a particular version of the file:</p></div> <div class="listingblock"> <div class="content"> <pre><code>$ git diff v2.5:Makefile HEAD:Makefile.in</code></pre> </div></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>You can also use <em>git show</em> to see any such file:</p></div> <div class="listingblock"> <div class="content"> <pre><code>$ git show v2.5:Makefile</code></pre> </div></div> </div> </div> <div class="sect1"> <h2 id="_next_steps">Next Steps</h2> <div class="sectionbody"> <div class="paragraph"><p>This tutorial should be enough to perform basic distributed revision control for your projects. However, to fully understand the depth and power of Git you need to understand two simple ideas on which it is based:</p></div> <div class="ulist"><ul> <li> <p> The object database is the rather elegant system used to store the history of your project—files, directories, and commits. </p> </li> <li> <p> The index file is a cache of the state of a directory tree, used to create commits, check out working directories, and hold the various trees involved in a merge. </p> </li> </ul></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>Part two of this tutorial explains the object database, the index file, and a few other odds and ends that you’ll need to make the most of Git.

Git bisect can help you perform a binary search for that commit.
