Welcome to the Git Tutorial section! Whether you're new to version control or want to deepen your understanding, this guide will help you master Git essentials. 🌟
What is Git? 📌
Git is a distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small projects to large-scale collaborations. It tracks changes in your code, allowing you to revert to previous versions, review history, and manage branches efficiently. 📦
Key Concepts 🧠
- Repository (Repo): A directory where your project files and history are stored.
- Commit: A snapshot of your project at a specific moment, with a descriptive message.
- Branch: A parallel workflow for developing features or fixes without affecting the main code.
- Merge: Combining changes from different branches into one.
Basic Commands 🛠️
Here are the most commonly used Git commands:
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
git init |
Initialize a new Git repository. |
git add . |
Stage all changes for the next commit. |
git commit -m "Message" |
Save changes with a message. |
git push |
Upload local commits to a remote repo. |
git pull |
Fetch and merge changes from a remote. |
💡 Tip: Always use descriptive commit messages to explain what changes you made.
Git Workflow 🔄
- Make changes to your code.
- Stage them with
git add. - Commit changes with
git commit. - Push to a remote repository (e.g., GitHub) using
git push. - Pull updates from others with
git pull.
Best Practices ✅
- Keep commits small and focused.
- Use branches for new features (
git branch feature-x). - Regularly push to the remote repo to avoid losing work.
- Never forget to
git checkoutwhen switching branches! 🚫
