Learning Basic GIT commands.

This Blog post is about understanding basic commands line. I am coming from a background of ZERO with the intended purpose of being able to navigate through folders.


Here are a list of various commands from GitHub. I could have just provided the link but I wanted to practice typing them out so that they stick in my mind better. So….


Ctrl + A : Goes to the beginning of the line you are currently typing on.  It also works in most text editors, including TextEdit in Mac : ) The one I am currently using! However, it does not work with Netbeans

Ctrl + E : Go to the end of the line you are currently typing on. This also works in most text editors, including TextEdit in Mac. However, it does not work in Netbeans.

Ctrl + L : Clears the Screen (This action did not work exactly as described. Instead it took my current line, pasted it and then proceeded to add blank lines ~20. Note this is NOT: COMM + L

Cmd + L : Deletes the proceeding line.  (I am not sure if the action is “undone”. My suspension is that it does not “undue” the action taken by the line)

Cmd + K : Clears the Screen

Ctrl + U : Cut everything backwards to the begging of the line (Meaning it deletes the contents of the line)

Ctrl + K : Cuts everything forward to the end of the line.

This blog posting is not finished and will be updated….
