I’m mentioning this as the Git installation will ask for something in case you need to change files when you’re on the command line.

You may also want to install a Code Editor, just in case you need it.I’m assuming you have it, but just in case you don’t, grab it from here: That’s the desktop client that allows for easy repo management. GitHub for Desktop should to be installed.Get it from here: (accept all default paths during the installation) It’s the command line tool that lets us administer and create repositories.

Git for Windows needs to be installed.

You’ll be flying around this thing in no time! I’m doing this on Windows 10, so we need a few prerequisites that I thought I’d mention: Don’t worry though, I’ll walk you through the whole process. Thankfully there’s an easier way to make this happen by using the Windows command line (gasp). Or you could copy all your existing data to a temporary folder, delete your original, then re-create it with exactly the same folder name, put it under version control and paste everything back. That might upset the project application though, as all paths will change. Granted, there are messy workarounds: you could simply create a new empty folder with version control, then paste all your existing data into it. We can create new repositories in empty folders, we can check out projects that are stored elsewhere, but GitHub for Desktop refuses to create repositories in folders that already have data in them. One thing I wish it had was the ability to place an existing folder under version control, but alas it’s not to be. Run the following command to check the current status of the repository.I love version control, and I really like Github for Desktop. The user can unstage all files or the particular file or the committed file using this command. The way to unstage any repository file using the ` git reset` command is shown in this part of the tutorial. Go to the local repository folder to check the commands used in this tutorial. You have to create a local repository and publish the repository in the remote server to test the commands used in this tutorial. You will require to create a GitHub account to check the output of the commands used here in the remote server. You can also check the tutorial for installing GitHub Desktop on Ubuntu to know the installation process properly.

You have to install and configure this application after download to use it. You can easily download the latest installer of this application for Ubuntu from. GitHub Desktop helps the git user to perform the git-related tasks graphically. The different ways to unstage the file of a local git repository have been explained in this tutorial. If the user modifies the content of any added file, then the user has to re-add the file again to keep the changes or restore the file in the previous stage to undo the changes. In that case, he/she can remove the file from the stage area by using the `git reset` command or removing the file.

But suppose the user accidentally added any file and did not want to keep the file in the repository after adding. The user can confirm the file addition task by using the `git commit` command. The file adds to the repository by using the `git add` command, and this is called staging of the file to the local repository. The git users need to work with different types of files in a local repository.
