Useful Git Commands

Use a Command Line utility like Terminal on Mac or PowerShell? on Windows.

Change Directory to the root of the wiki.

• For example cd (drag folder from Finder window onto Terminal)

• git status (get information about repo)

• git add filename (add / stage one file at a time)

• git add . (add / stage everything)

  • add in Terminal = stage in obsidian

• git commit -m "message"

• git pull

  • Subtleties here when wikiing in teams

• git push

Note: Using Git on Terminal instead of in Obsidian can be useful if the git plugin in Obsidian gets overwhelmed with too many changes and can't process them.
