Version with with git

Probably you have heard about Github and how bioinformaticians are using it too keep their developments up to date. It is an extraordinary tool for keep track of all your script changes and versions. It just requires a little bit of training to SUCCEED.

First let’s create a folder inside scripts:

mkdir my_git_script
cd my_git_script
mv ../myfirstscript.sh .

Create a new repository

git init

First you have to configure your global git parameters

git config --global user.name "username"

You have initiated a new repository

a hidden folder called .git has been created

ls -ltha

total 256K
drwxr-xr-x 7 asecas86 clusterusers 4.0K Mar 16 01:11 .git
drwxr-xr-x 3 asecas86 clusterusers 4.0K Mar 16 01:11 .

-rwxr-xr-x 1 asecas86 clusterusers  101 Mar 16 01:10 myfirstscript.sh

git add *

Adds all the changes in your directory to the local git cache

git status

Shows all the changes you have done in your directory

[asecas86@n252 my_git_script]$ git status
