Version Control with Git

What is Git?

Git is a distributed version control system that helps developers track changes in their code and collaborate with others.

Basic Git Commands

Here are some basic Git commands:

• git init: Initialize a new Git repository.
• git add: Add files to the staging area.
• git commit: Save changes to the repository.
• git push: Upload changes to a remote repository.

Example: Creating a Repository

git init
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit"
        

Branching and Merging

Git allows you to create branches to work on new features or fixes without affecting the main codebase.

Example: Creating a Branch

git branch new-feature
git checkout new-feature
        

Collaborating with Git

Git makes it easy to collaborate with others. You can clone repositories, create pull requests, and resolve conflicts.

Example: Cloning a Repository

git clone https://github.com/username/repository.git
        

GitHub

GitHub is a platform for hosting Git repositories. It provides tools for collaboration, code review, and project management.

Example: Pushing to GitHub

git remote add origin https://github.com/username/repository.git
git push -u origin main
