Creating a new repository on the command line locally and pushing the changes to it and the remote repository.

echo "# Echo-Oracle" >> README.md
git init
git add README.md
git commit -m "first commit"
git remote add origin https://github.com/adilraja/Echo-Oracle.git
git push -u origin master

Pushing an existing local repository to a remote repository from the command line.

git remote add origin https://github.com/adilraja/Echo-Oracle.git
git push -u origin master

Import code from another repository

Undoing changes on the remote repository

If by chance you have made unintended changes to your remote repository, by adding a new commit to it, you can undo the changes using the following commands.

git reset 7f6d03 --hard

 git push origin -f

Replace the number above in your reset command with the SHA of the commit that you want to revert to on the remote repository.

I found the following commands on GitLab. You might find these useful too.

Command line instructions

git config --global user.name "Adil Raja"
git config --global user.email "adilraja@gmail.com"

git clone https://gitlab.com/adilraja/evolutionary-nursery.git
cd evolutionary-nursery
touch README.md
git add README.md
git commit -m "add README"
git push -u origin master

cd existing_folder
git init
git remote add origin https://gitlab.com/adilraja/evolutionary-nursery.git
git add .
git commit
git push -u origin master

Popular version control systems are Git, bazaar and subversion. It beyond the scope of this article to reflect on each one of them. The following article should help you somehow in finding out the right version control system for yourself.

If you’ve ever collaborated with other people on a project, you know the frustration of constantly swapping files. Some do it by email, some through file upload services and some by other methods. It’s a pain in the neck, and every designer and developer knows it.

The following link will take you to a website where you can play with, and learn about, Git, which is possibly the most popular version control system. Actually, it would be much nicer if each one of you try it and make an account with code school to keep track of your progress. You may as well earn a badge for your work.

Set up Git – GitHub Docs

At the heart of GitHub is an open-source version control system (VCS) called Git. Git is responsible for everything GitHub-related that happens locally on your computer.
