Git Collaboration Contd…

• Git Repository exists already and you are supposed to get that into your local system and make changes.
• Cloning a repository:
  • In this case you will get the contents of the remote repository (.git) into your local system and then git will generate the working tree
• Lets Clone the new Repository. Refer Here.
  • The command is git clone <remote-repo-url>
    
• When we clone the repository the default remote name is origin
  
  
• Lets understand collaboration by two users
  • khajaibrahimshaik (Windows Terminal)
    
  • qtdevops (Git Bash)
    

Scenario 1: Both users working on different folders in the same branch (main)

• qtdevops user changes
  
• khajaibrahimshaik changes
  
• Let qtdevops push the changes
  
• Let khajaibrahim push the changes
  
• This error is happening as git expects origin/main to point to same commit id to what your remote-repo’s latest is
• Now to resolve this i need to get the latest changes from remote
• To get the latest changes from remote we use pull
  
  
  
• We got one extra commit due to pull as the merge b/w main and origin/main happened.
• Lets continue the changes
  • qtdevops user does one more changes and tries to push
    
  • Now qtdevops user needs to pull the latest changes but he doesn’t like the idea of extra commit
    

Exercise: Create a new repository called as GitLearning in Github

• Clone the repository into your system
• Create a new branch from main called rel_v1.0
• In that branch create two commits and push the changes.
  
  
  

Scenario 2: Both users working on same files leading to conflicts while push

• Let qtdevops user add some changes in docs/Readme.md
• Let khajaibrahimshain add some changes and push the changes
  
• Now if qtdevops user tries to push without pull he will get error, so he tries to use git pull --rebase
  
  
  

Difference between git push and git push

• The error scenario:
  
• In Git upstream refers to the remote repository and set upstream command will set default remote for your branch.
• When you clone the repository and work on existing branches there is no need to set the upstream, but when you create a new branch in the repository and if you are pushing the branch for the first time, the upstream can be set git push -u <remote-name> <branch-name>
• If the branch is already created by you and if you had the push the changes without setting upstream then you can set upstream by the following command git push --set-upstream <remote-name> <branch-name>
  
• Note: Always pull the changes before pushing to the remote repository.
