Git Desktop - Connect to VPS repository

[Snavy]

I have a repository cloned onto my VPS and I am not sure how I would visually use git. When I had the server on my local machine I Would use git desktop to push commits or create branches. But the vps is just a terminal without any special magic effects that allow me to review file modifications and stage only specific lines etc.

How can I solve this issue?
Would it be possible to remotely connect to the VPS (using Git Desktop) and then review changes?

I don't think you can, you'd have to pick up Git Bash and learn Git commands.
Or you could just continue to use it locally, push a new branch and merge the branch on your VPS and recompile.

You should learn to use git via command line interface (CLI). Resistance is futile.

Sounds like a super bothersome way to do something as simple as a git diff command? (git diff)

See git status and changed files:
git status

Sync remote repo to your local files:
git pull

See the difference between repo and your local file:
git diff /filepath

add a file to a commit
git add /filepath

git status will also show which files are added to your commit after using git add.

commit the file(s) added with above git add command:
git commit -m "Commit message goes here"

push the created commit to the repository:
git push
or
git push origin/master (or whatever branch your working on)

If you get stuck in a "terminal text editor", you can do CTRL + X and press enter, if that doesn't work, type :q and press enter.

 

[Syntax]

You can just do:
git commit -am "Message"

or

git add .
git commit -m "Message"

If you want to commit all files.
