Most of these operations will look like Git commands; because they are.
|
|
yadm wraps Git, allowing it to perform all of Git's operations. The
|
|
difference is your `$HOME` directory becomes the working directory, and you can
|
|
run the commands from any directory.
|
|
|
|
Commands below which are special to yadm are denoted with
|
|
<i class="fa fa-fw fa-asterisk" aria-hidden="true"></i>,
|
|
and those which are passed directly through to Git are denoted with
|
|
<i class="fab fa-fw fa-git-square" aria-hidden="true"></i>.

|
