🎉 Git Tutorial: Version Control for Developers
Git is a powerful distributed version control system that helps developers track changes in code, collaborate efficiently, and manage projects seamlessly. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced programmer, understanding Git is essential in modern software development.
🧱 Key Concepts of Git
- Repository (Repo): A directory where your project files and history are stored.
- Commit: A snapshot of your changes saved in the repo.
- Branch: A separate line of development (e.g.,
main
,feature-xyz
). - Merge: Combining changes from different branches into one.
- Staging Area: A temporary space to prepare changes before committing.
