Git is a distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency. 📦

Core Concepts

  • Repository: A directory where your project files and history are stored.
  • Commit: A snapshot of your project at a specific point in time. ✅
  • Branch: A parallel development line for isolating features or experiments. 🌿
  • Merge: Combining changes from different branches into one. 🔁

Essential Commands

git init        # Initialize a new repository  
git status      # Check the current state of your working directory  
git add <file>  # Stage changes for commit  
git commit      # Record changes to the repository  
git push        # Send committed changes to a remote repository  
git pull        # Fetch and integrate changes from a remote repository

Workflow Tips

  1. Always work on a feature branch before merging into main.
  2. Use git stash to temporarily save changes. 🧱
  3. Regularly push to remote to avoid data loss. ⚠️
