• Gitignore Tutorial by Atlassian
• Visual Git Cheatsheet
• Reference Git Documentation

Core commands:

• Create repository in folder git init
• Clone existing repository git clone URL
• Add any new files git add .
• Commit changes git commit -m 'Message'
• Push changes git push origin master or git push
• Force push changes (overwrites stuff) git push --force
• List all local branches git branch
• List all branches (incl. remote) git branch -a
• Create branch (but don't checkout) git branch NAME
• Create branch (and checkout) git checkout -b NAME
• Switch branch git checkout NAME
• Delete local branch git branch -d NAME
• Force delete local branch git branch -D NAME
• Delete remote branch git push origin --delete NAME
• Work on two branches at the same time (in VS Code):
    from master branch do this: git branch BRANCH-NAME and then git worktree add NAME-of-FOLDER BRANCH-NAME
    Git Worktree Add Example afterwards remove with git worktree remove BRANCH-NAME
• See log git log
• Nicely formatted log log --graph --date=short --pretty=format:"%h%x09%ad%x09%s"
• Purge file from commit history with BFG Repo-Cleaner
• Remove "ignored" files that were added before the gitignore was created git rm -rf --cached . and then git add . (make sure gitignore is uptodate)
• Delete "cached" files that were previously deleted from cache but are still in history git filter-branch --index-filter 'git rm -r --cached --ignore-unmatch "FILENAME"' -f HEAD (DANGEROUS - MAKE BACKUP)
• Fix diverged branch problem: check git log HEAD..origin/master, then if head is the same (which indicates that indeed branches have diverged at some earlier commits) then git merge origin/master and git commit -m "message" and git push

1. On local machine

• add ssh key to server's authorised keys ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub user@server
• add ssh key to server's authorised keys ssh-copy-id -i c:\users\name\.ssh\id_rsa.pub user@server
• these might need a port too -p 1234

2. On server

• live site: /home/user/site
• bare repo: /home/user/site.git
• initialise bare repo: git init --bare
• alternatively use: git init --shared --separate-git-dir code.git html inside parent folder
• enter hooks folder: cd hooks
• create "post-receive" file: touch post-receive
• add the following script using nano post-receive:

  #!/bin/sh
  git --work-tree=/home/user/site --git-dir=/home/user/site.git checkout -f

• or use the post-receive script mentioned in this article: Simple automated GIT Deployment using GIT Hooks
• fix permissions of post-receive script: chmod +x post-receive

3. On local machine

• add new remote: git remote add server user@server:site.git
• add new remote (with port including via git config file setup): git remote add server ssh://user@server/full/path/to/site.git
• check remotes: git remote -v
• add the following lines to the local git config file (i.e. in .git/config as opposed to the global config in c:\users\name\.gitconfig):

  [alias]
    pushall = !git push origin master && git push server master

• make changes and push to both remotes: git pushall

Specify port:

• git remote set-url server ssh://user@server:port/absolute/path/to/site.git
• (if cmd complains about caching key and you can't click yes, run putty itself so you can click yes there)

Multiple users pushing to same repo on server:

• Create user account for "git": sudo adduser git
• su git
• cd
• mkdir .ssh && chmod 700 .ssh
• touch .ssh/authorized_keys && chmod 600 .ssh/authorized_keys
• Each user wanting to push to the server needs to add their public ssh key to the "git" user's authorized_keys file:
• From local machine: ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub git@server
• From local machine: ssh-copy-id -i c:\users\name\.ssh\id_rsa.pub git@server

• see above
• then either have the code live in git home directory and all users push to that as git user (ssh://git@server/...)
• or the code lives in a user home directory and other users of the same git group can push to it (ssh://user@server/...)
• make sure folder permissions are correct (775/755 for folders/subfolders)

Add the following code to a pre-commit hook in the .git/hooks folder of your repo. This will generate html files from markdown content every time just before you commit.

Make sure you add styles inside a <style> block to a file called "styles". See pandoc command in script below.

#!/bin/sh

echo "Converting markdown files to html with Pandoc..."

for file in markdown/*.md 
do
  echo "Processing $file"
  name=$(basename ${file%%.*})
  # echo $name

  pandoc $file -f markdown -t html -o html/$name.html -s -H styles --quiet
  # --quiet = suppress warning messages
  # -s = standalone (full htmlm not snippet)
  # -H = include file in header
done

git add .
echo "... and stage generated html files."

• Installing Jekyll on a mac
• Jekyll Cheat sheet

Jekyll deployment on private server

• Install Jekyll on your local machine and setup the project as you want.
• We want to be pushing only the _site folder with the compiled HTML files to the server, so we don't have to install Jekyll and recompile there, as that just introduces the possibility of errors in the chain of actions.
• Prepare the server infrastructure ready according to instructions above.
• Then on your local machine, you need to make you Jekyll project (from now I will call this the root folder) a git repository.
• You also need to make your _site folder a git repo.
• In the root repo, create a pre-commit file with the following contents:

• 
  #!/bin/sh
  cd absolute/path/to/Jekyll/_site
  date
  date +'%d/%m/%Y'
  var=$date
  git add .
  git commit -m "Changes from $var via auto-commit script."
          

• Make sure this file is executable chmod +x pre-commit
• We also need a pre-push file:

• 
  #!/bin/sh
  cd absolute/path/to/Jekyll/_site
  git push server master
          

• Again, make sure the file is executable, using the same command above chmod +x pre-push
• To make the pre-push file work, we need to make sure the git remote for the _site repo is set correctly.
• So, check it using git remote -v
• If it doesn't list a "server" remote then we need to add it.
• Add the remote inside the _site repo: git remote add server ssh://user@server/full/path/to/site.git
• At this point, the workflow is ready. You can commit work in your root folder and it gets automatically commited as well in your _site folder. When you are ready to push your source code (to GitHub usually) then your compiled code will also be pushed to the private server of your choice.
