Git is a version control system that allows developers to track and manage changes to their codebase. GitHub is a platform that provides hosting for Git repositories, as well as tools for collaboration and version control. In this blog post, we'll explore some common Git/GitHub commands that you may find useful when working with Git and GitHub.
git init: This command initializes a new Git repository in the current directory.
git clone: This command creates a local copy of a remote repository. For example, git clone https://github.com/user/repo.git will create a local copy of the repository located at https://github.com/user/repo.git.
git add: This command adds a file to the staging area. For example, git add file.txt will add file.txt to the staging area.
git commit: This command saves changes to the local repository. For example, git commit -m "Added new feature" will commit all staged changes with the message "Added new feature".
git push: This command pushes local commits to a remote repository. For example, git push origin master will push all local commits to the master branch of the origin remote.
git pull: This command fetches and merges changes from a remote repository. For example, git pull origin master will fetch and merge changes from the master branch of the origin remote.
git branch: This command allows you to create, list, or delete branches. For example, git branch new-feature will create a new branch called new-feature, git branch will list all branches, and git branch -d new-feature will delete the new-feature branch.
git merge: This command merges one branch into another. For example, git merge new-feature will merge the new-feature branch into the current branch.
These are just a few of the many Git/GitHub commands that are available. With these commands, you should be able to get started working with Git and GitHub to track and manage changes to your codebase. :)
