# Git
|
|
|
|
Git is probably the best version control system (VCS) there is.
|
|
It's easy and can be lightweight, but also has tons of possibilities for using graphical (/web) user interfaces.
|
|
|
|
## Client
|
|
|
|
The Client is pretty simple to understand.
|
|
With only a handfull of commands you should be able to get your versioning going.
|
|
For servers with web interfaces there are different cli tools to control it
|
|
without using a browser.
|
|
For most linux distributions it is packaged with the `git` package
|
|
|
|
There is also an interactive

## Server with web interface
|
|
|
|
Web interfaces for git are quite useful for easily showing code to other people.
|
|
Additionally it is easy to collaborate together.
|
|
|
|
- [Gitea](gitea.md) is an open-source and selfhosted and can be dockerized.
|
|
- [Github](https://github.com) is the go to system for many people. Not
|
|
selfhosted, owned by microsoft ([cli-tool](https://github.com/github/hub)).
|
|
|
|
## Server without graphical interface
|
|
|
|
If you don't need a bloated web-interface a more basic approach is more than enough.
|
|
|
|
- [git-server-docker](./docker-images/jkarlos_-_git-server-docker.md) is a pretty
|
|
basic docker-container for git.
|
|
|
|
## Ignore files having local changes
|
|
|
|
If you need to make changes to a file that are local you can run
|
|
`config update-index --skip-worktree <file>`.
|
|
Following this the file won't show up as having changes from the upstream.
|
|
Note that files tagged with this command are checked out sparsly, so you need
|
|
to watch out for changes yourself if there are any.
|
|
To revert this run `config update-index --no-skip-worktree <file>`.
