Git global setup

git config --global user.name "First Lastname"
git config --global user.email "email@math.uzh.ch"

Create a new repository
-----------------------
mkdir <local projektdir>
cd <local projektdir>
git init
touch README.md
git add README.md
git commit -m "first commit"
git remote add origin git@git.math.uzh.ch:<project>.git
git push -u origin master

Push an existing Git repository
-------------------------------
cd existing_git_repo
git remote add origin git@git.math.uzh.ch:<project>.git
git push -u origin master

GIT daily use

git add <file>

Local: Work on your files

git commit -a

git-commit

git push

Local: clone an existing repo to start working on it

git clone git@git.math.uzh.ch:<project>.git

Purged Remote branches still shown locally

$ git remote update --prune

Purge a file completely from all commits & branches

$ cd <root of your repo>
$ git-forget-file.sh <path to file>/<file>

Overwrite local branch with remote

Visually show commit history

Search the commit which breaks something
