Bug Fix Code (new branch)

cd c:\temp 
cd myfolder 
cd 'my folder' 
git clone -b existingbranch "paste URL" 
cd projectname 
<< make code changes >> 
git status 
git add --all 
git status 
git branch feature/newfeature 
git checkout feature/newfeature 
git commit -m "comment / JIRA ref" 
git push origin feature/newfeature 

Clean the solution from any debugging before removing it from Git Local

Save More Changes (same branch)

By default, Git chooses "origin" for the remote.
By default, Git chooses your "current branch" as the branch to push.

git status 
git add --all 
git status 
git commit -m "comment" 
git push 

I don't think the following line is required (maybe useful if there is a problem)

git push -u origin "feature/samefeature" 

Remove old branches

git branch --all   //see all the branches 
git push origin --delete feature/oldfeature      //delete a remote branch 

Get the latest changes (into an empty folder)

cd myfolder 
git init 
(optional) git remote add "remote_name" "copy the URL from the clone button in the UI" 
git pull remote_name "branch_name" 

git remote rm remote_name 
git pull remote_name master 
git pull remote_name feature/ribbonUI 

Get the latest changes (overwrite local changes)

cd myfolder 
git init 
(optional) git remote add "remote_name" "copy the URL from the clone button in the UI" 
git fetch remote_name "branch_name" 
git reset --hard ********* (last commit) 

Integrate the latest remote changes

git pull remote_name feature/ribbonUI 

Reset all your Local Changes

git reset --hard remote_name/feature/ribbonUI 

Switching branches

git checkout develop 
git checkout feature/ribbonUI 

Check in my changes

cd myfolder 
git init 
git add --all 
git status 
git commit -m "RESAUTH-" 
git push -u remote_name feature/ribbonUI 

Delete a Folder recursively

git rm -r foldername 

New Repository

When you need to create the repository and upload for the first time.

cd c:\temp 
cd myfolder 
git init 
git add --all 
git commit -m "Initial Commit" 
git remote add origin "paste URL" 
git push -u origin master 

Replace/Add all the modified files

clean the Visual Studio solution
replace all the files
delete the bin sub folder
delete the obj sub folder
remove the packages folder
remove the "suo" file - solution user options

If a file has been modified you must run "git add" to ensure the latest changes are in the staging area
