GIT COMMANDS

Git is a distributed version control system designed to manage source code

changes efficiently and effectively. Git allows multiple developers to

collaborate on projects while maintaining a complete history of changes. Its

core features include:

• Version Control: Git tracks changes to files, allowing you to revert to

previous versions, compare changes, and understand the evolution of a

project.

• Branching and Merging: Developers can create branches to work on features

or bug fixes in isolation. Once changes are complete, branches can be

merged back into the main project, facilitating parallel development.

• Distributed Architecture: Unlike centralized version control systems, Git

allows every developer to have a complete copy of the repository, enhancing

collaboration and making it possible to work offline.

• Performance: Git is optimized for speed, making operations like committing

changes, branching, and merging extremely fast.

• Collaboration: With Git, multiple developers can work on a project

simultaneously, with tools like GitHub and GitLab enabling easy sharing and

collaboration on code.

1. git init: Initializes a new Git repository in the current directory.

16. git merge --abort: Aborts a merge process if there are conflicts.

17. git push origin main: Pushes committed changes to the remote repository on the

specified branch.
