"As a project drags on, my git commit messages get less and less informative." | ||
--Randall Munroe |
A lot of my friends use IntelliJ IDEs and hence, have forgotten how to use most Git command-line tools. I can't blame them; the interface that we have is very simple to use, and most of the common commands are available to us in a neatly packed menu. That isn't to say that this layer of abstraction like many others is leaky. In this chapter, I will take a quick look at most of the tools and talk about some limitations. Version control is in no way a simple topic and hence, I won't explain its topics; I'll merely show you how to use the tools available in PyCharm. We will mainly go over:
Initializing version control
Ignoring files
Adding remotes
The VCS menu
The Changes panel
Change lists
