# Git Command Line commands
## Start working on your project
* You need to add a copy in your computer of all the contents in the project that you’d like to work on. To do it, go to your account in [gitlab.com](https://gitlab.com)
* When you are on your Dashboard, click on the project that you'd like to copy, which you'll find at the right side of your screen
![Select a project](basicsimages/select_project.png)
* When you're in the project, click on the HTTPS button at the right side of your screen. Then copy the HTTPS link (you'll have to paste it on your shell in the next step)
![Copy the HTTPS](basicsimages/https.png)
## In your Command Line or shell
* To add a copy of the project's contents into your computer, go to your computer's shell and type the following command
```
git clone PASTE HTTPS HERE
```
* A copy of the project will be created in your computer. You'll be able to find it stored as a regular file
## Basic commands
It's important to know some basic commands to work on your shell
* Go into a project, directory or file to work in it
```
cd NAME-OF-PROJECT-OR-FILE
```
* Go back one directory or file
```
cd ../
```
* Go to the master branch to pull the latest changes from there
```
git checkout master
```
* Download the latest changes in the project, so that you work on an up-to-date copy (this is important to do every time you work on a project)
```
git pull
```
* Create a branch (remember that spaces won't be recognized, you need to use a hyphen or underscore)
```
git checkout -b NAME-OF-BRANCH
```
* Work on a branch that has already been created
```
git checkout NAME-OF-BRANCH
```
* To see what’s in the file
```

nano README.md

```
* Add changes to commit (you'll be able to see your changes in red when you type "git status")
```
git add CHANGES IN RED
git commit -m "DESCRIBE COMMIT IN A FEW WORDS"
```
