Remote

Working with Git Remotely

Clone a remote repo:
```
    $ git clone <url>
```

Clone a specific branch of a remote repo:

    $ git clone -b <remorebranch> <url> <localbranch>

To add a new remote Git repository to local repo:
```
    $ git remote add <url-alias> <url>
```

Set upstream with local and remote branch:

    $ git branch --set-upstream-to <url-alias>/<remotebranch> <localbranch>

Fetch and merge changes from remote branch to local branch:
```
    $ git pull <url-alias> <remotebranch>
```

Push changes to remote branch:

    $ git push <url-alias> <remotebranch>

Push changes to remote branch. -u would create the remote branch:
```
    $ git push -u <url-alias> <remotebranch>
```
Push local tags to remote:
- To push all the tags to remote:
```
       $ git push --tags
```
- To push a particular tag to remote:
```
    $ git push <url-alias> <tagname>
```
Note: When you push your local repo to remote the local tags will not be pushed to remote by itself, you would need to do this explicitly.
Show remote url-alias and url:
```
   $ git remote -v
```
Remove remote reference with local repo:
```
    $ git remote rm <url-alias>
```
Delete a remote branch after merging (i.e. you missed the checkbox during the merge. Alternatively you can use the Github/Bitbucket UI to delete the remote branch.)
```
    $ git push origin --delete <branchname>
```

Add a Git submodule to an existing Git Project

   $ git submodule add <url> folder-to-download/

Remove a Git submodule from an existing Git Project

    Delete the relevant section from the .gitmodules file.
    Stage the .gitmodules changes git add .gitmodules

    Run git rm --cached path_to_submodule (no trailing slash).
    Run rm -rf .git/modules/path_to_submodule (no trailing slash).
    Commit git commit -m "Removed submodule "
    Delete the now untracked submodule files rm -rf path_to_submodule
