Version Control Tips

Welcome to our guide on version control! Here are some essential tips to help you manage your code effectively.

Basic Concepts

• Commit: Save changes to your code with a commit. It's like taking a snapshot of your code at a specific point in time.
• Branch: Create a branch to work on a new feature or fix without affecting the main codebase.
• Merge: Combine changes from one branch to another.

Best Practices

• Use Descriptive Commit Messages: Make sure your commit messages clearly describe what you've changed. This helps others understand your changes and makes it easier to find specific commits later.
• Regularly Commit: Commit often to keep your repository clean and organized. It's easier to fix bugs and track changes when you commit frequently.

Useful Commands

• git add <file>: Stage changes to be committed.
• git commit: Commit staged changes.
• git push: Push your changes to a remote repository.
• git pull: Pull changes from a remote repository.
