Github

Git is a version control system that allows developers to track code changes by creating commits, or snapshots, of files. It stores a project's development history locally in a repository. Developers can create branches to work independently without interfering with others, and then merge their changes into the main version. GitHub is a popular cloud platform that builds on Git functionality by enabling remote collaboration and hosting projects.

Introduction
Git is a version control system.

Git helps you keep track of code changes.

Git is used to collaborate on code


Introduction
Git is a distributed, open-source version control system. It enables developers and
data scientists to track code, merge changes and revert to older versions - AWS. It
allows you to sync changes with a remote server. Due to its flexibility and
popularity, Git has become an industry standard as it supports almost all
development environments, command-line tools, and operating systems.
How it works?
Git stores your files and their development history in a local repository. Whenever
you save changes you have made, Git creates a commit. A commit is a snapshot
of current files. These commits are linked with each other, forming a development
history graph, as shown below. It allows us to revert back to the previous commit,
compare changes, and view the progress of the development project .
Branch
The branches are copies of the source code that works parallel to the main
version. To save the changes made, merge the branch into the main version. This
feature promotes conflict-free teamwork. Each developer has his/her task, and by
using branches, they can work on the new feature without the interference of other
teammates. Once the task is finished, you can merge new features with the main
version (master branch).
Commits
There are three states of files in Git: modified, staged, and commit. When you
make changes in a file, the changes are saved in the local directory. They are not
part of the Git development history. To create a commit, you need to first stage
changed files. You can add or remove changes in the staging area and then
package these changes as a commit with a message describing the changes.
Github
GitHub is a cloud software development platform. It is commonly used for saving
files, tracking changes, and collaborating on development projects. In recent
years, GitHub has become the most popular social platform for software
development communities. Individuals can contribute to open-source projects and
bug reports, discuss new projects and discover new tools.

Commands
git init create a Git repository in a local directory.

git clone <remote-repo-address>: copy the entire repository from a remote server
to remote directory. You can also use it to copy local repositories.

git add <file.txt>: add a single file or multiple files and folders to the staging area.

git commit –m “Message”: create a snapshot of changes and save it in the


repository.
Contd..
git status shows the list of changed files or files that have yet to be staged and
committed.

git push <remote-name> <branch-name>: send local commits to remote branch


of repository.

git checkout -b <branch-name>: creates a new branch and switches to a new


branch.

git remote –v: view all remote repositories.


git branch –d <branch-name>: delete the branch.

git pull merge commits to a local directory from a remote repository.

git merge <branch-name>: after resolving merge conflicts the command blends
selected branch into the current branch.
