The Working of Git
Git is a distributed version control system that allows users to track code changes and manage their projects. Here's a basic overview of how Git works:
Repository
The heart of Git is a repository used to contain a project. A repository can be stored locally or on a website, such as GitHub.
Staging Area
When you want Git to track changes you've made to a certain file, you must add it to the staging area. Git recognizes when you modify a file but doesn't track it unless you stage it. You can add a file to the staging area using the command: git add [filename].
Commit
A commit represents a save point for your work, a snapshot of your code at a particular point in time. Adding files to the staging area means that they are ready to be committed. To commit the changes, you can use the command: git commit -m "commit message".
Push
Developers commit their work locally, and then sync their copy of the repository with the copy on the server. This can be done using the command: git push origin [branch-name].
Pull
To get the latest changes from the remote repository, you can use the command: git pull origin [branch-name].
Remember, these are just the basics. Git has many more features and commands that allow for complex workflows and collaboration among multiple developers.
