SVN and Git Command Mappings

SVN and Git Command Mappings

Tables of Commands

Table 1 provides a mapping between Subversion commands and Git commands.  For the Subversion side, I'm using GMAT's URL at SourceForge when a URL is needed.  This table is compiled from several reference websites, listed in the references

Check out the repository

svn checkout --username=<username> https://svn.code.sf.net/p/gmat/code/trunk GmatDevelopment

git clone git://URLNeededHere GMATDevelopment

Svn: Creates a local working copy in the folder GmatDevelopment

Git: Creates a local repository in the folder GmatDevelopment

Update locally checked out files

svn update

git pull

Svn: Retrieves updates and places them in the local working copy

Git: Merges updates into the local repository

Commit Files Locally

N/A

git add <list of changed or new files>

 git commit

Recommended practice is to commit often locally, so that you have a local history of the changes as you make then, and so that you can revert changes if necessary.

Add files to the main repo

svn commit

git push

 

List local changes

svn stat

git status

 

Compare changes to committed files

svn diff somefile.txt

git diff somefile.txt

 

Revert a local change

svn revert somefile.txt

git checkout somefile.txt

 

Revert all local changes

svn revert . -R

git reset --hard HEAD

 

Add files to the repository

svn add file.txt

git add file.txt
