GIT Vademecum
GIT is a distributed version control system that facilitates Mia-Platform activities. This vademecum summarizes the main GIT commands and guidelines to simplify your work.
#
Install GitStart using Git by installing it on your PC
#
Initial configurationsConfigure valid user information for all repositories.
Set the username (name.surname) you want to show on your commits.
Set up the business email you want to show on your commits.
#
Recommended configurationsWe recommend a series of configurations that could help you in your work.
Set fetch.prune as active. It allows you to keep branches aligned remotely with your local branches.
Set the automatic rebase to the pull. It allows you to avoid unnecessary merge on a branch if you work in more than one person on the same branch.
Set the autostash to true in the initial configurations. Combined with the previous configuration, it allows you to perform a pull even with unscheduled modifications.
Color your GIT for a better view of the history.
