Git

Git is a version control system designed to be used in a distributed ecosystem and primarily interfaced in a terminal (i.e. git(1)).

Contents

Installation

All Linux distributions offer a git package. Most BSD distributions do as well.

Usage

To begin tracking a directory, run git init. This creates a .git folder to maintain the internal state of the version control system.

Use git status to show the current state in a human-readable format.

Branches

Fatal error when cloning a remote repository

If git fails to clone a remote repository, possibly with one of the following error messages:

fatal: fetch-pack: invalid index-pack output
...
fatal: early EOF
fatal: index-pack failed

Then try a shallow clone first:

git clone --depth 1 https://example.com/repo.git
git fetch --unshallow
git pull --all
