git switch command to do the same since git checkout

git push (-u or --set-upstream) origin Allows you to specify the upstream (remote) repository for the branch you're on, so that next time you run git push, you don't even have to specify the remote repository.

Next time you push, you don't have to specify the remote repository

git push

Copy changes from one branch to another I have a branch named BranchA from master. I have some changes in BranchA (I am not going to merge changes from BranchA to master). Now I have created another branch from master named BranchB. How can I copy the changes from BranchA to BranchB?

git checkout BranchB
git merge BranchA

Instead of merge, as others suggested, you can rebase one branch onto another:

git checkout BranchB
git rebase BranchA

This takes BranchB and rebases it onto BranchA, which effectively looks like BranchB was branched from BranchA, not master.

Git pull origin branchName Bring remote changes to local repo

Some files are libraries/documentation you don't want to delete but also don't want to push to github. Let say you have your project in folder your_project and a doc directory: your_project/doc

Create git ignore file first-- touch .gitignore

this command to add lines in your gitignore file-- echo 'application/cache' >> .gitignore

And you can exclude a folder by entering the below command in the .gitignore file /folderName

• Remove it from the project directory (without actually deleting it): git rm --cached doc/*
• If you don't already have a .gitignore , you can make one right inside of your project folder: project/.gitignore .
• Put doc/* in the .gitignore
• Stage the file to commit: git add project/.gitignore
• Commit: git commit -m "message".
• Push your change to github.

We can unignore certain files in a deeper structure or a specific subset (ie, you ignore *.log but want to still track important.log) by specifying patterns beginning with !. eg: *.log !important.log
