Git submodule

• If you want to git clone a repo alone with submodules. Use the following command:

  git clone --recursive https://github.com/<repo-name>.git
  

• If you have git clone a repo with submodule, you can find submodules' folders, but the folders are empty.

  git clone https://github.com/<repo-name>.git
  git submodule init        # Init your local configuration file
  git submodule update      # Will pull submodules you need
  

  Use the above commands and you can have a complete repo.

Git clone

• git clone a private repo

# Normal case
git clone https://username:password@github.com/username/repository.git
# or later input password
git clone https://username@github.com/username/repository.git
Password:

# [!!!] When using two-factor authentication(https://stackoverflow.com/a/52011442/8522166)
# 2fa(https://help.github.com/articles/creating-a-personal-access-token-for-the-command-line/)
$ git clone https://github.com/username/repo.git
Username: your_username
Password: your_token
# or inline
git clone https://username:token@github.com/username/repository.git

• git clone a single branch

git clone --single-branch --branch <branchname> host:/dir.git

Git pull

• git pull & git pull origin master
  Say you are working on a local branch dev, whose upstream branch is origin/dev.

$ git branch -vv
* dev       328c854 [origin/dev] Chapter_5 outline
  master    7dedf87 [origin/master] May 9 discussion (#14)

git pull = git fetch + git merge
git pull --rebase = git fetch + git rebase

git pull <repo> <branch>:
1st argument by default is the current branch's remote.
2nd argument by default is the current branch's merge.

$ git config --get branch.dev.remote
origin
$ git config --get branch.dev.merge
refs/heads/dev

I.e.
git pull will pull from origin/dev and merge to current dev branch.
git pull can pull origin/master and merge to current dev branch.[!!]

Scenario: You are developing on local dev branch, push to the origin/dev at times for a pr. Now the master has some new updates and you would like to sync with master. You can use git pull origin master to pull master's new update and merge to your branch.

Merge branch 'master' of github.com:arthma/iot-book into dev

Git rebase

Merge Two GitHub Repo

Say you have two github repo A and B. A is a copy of B and develop some feature. Now you want to merge A back to B so the new feature can be added to B.
Go to B's repo, git pull A's code.

# In B repo. Pull A code
git pull git@github.com:A-organization/A-project-name.git

Then solve conflicts, submmit commit, git push, done.
