Git cheat sheet

Uploading a new Unity project to GitHub

Initialize Git in the Unity project folder, pull the .gitignore file, make your first commit and push:

git init

git remote add origin [remote-url]

git pull origin main

git add .

git commit -m "first commit"

git push --set-upstream origin main

Common workflow

git status

git add filename

git commit -m "make change"

git pull (If working in a team, always pull before pushing!)

git push

Creating a new branch

git checkout -b newBranch

• This is a shorthand for git branch newBranch && git checkout newBranch

git add newFile.txt

git commit -m "add newFile.txt"

git push --set-upstream origin newBranch

• (The line above creates a new remote branch. After doing it once, you can just use regular git push)

Merging a feature branch to master

git checkout master

git merge newBranch

• This is where the conflicts happen. Fix them in VS code

git add conflictedFile.txt

git commit

git push

Merging changes from master to feature branch

• On feature branch:
  git fetch origin master:master

  git merge master
