GIT Tutorial

Introduction to Git

Git is a free, open-source version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency. It tracks changes in source code, allowing multiple developers to collaborate efficiently.

📌 What is Version Control?

Version control is a system that records changes to a file or set of files over time so that you can recall specific versions later. Git is the most popular system used today.

🚀 Basic Git Workflow

Here’s the basic flow you’ll use often when working with Git:

1. git init – Initialize a new repository
2. git add – Add files to staging
3. git commit – Commit changes with a message
4. git push – Push changes to a remote repository (like GitHub)

📦 Common Git Commands

  git init # Create a new Git repository git status # Check status of files git add filename # Stage a specific file git add . # Stage all changes git commit -m "msg" # Commit with message git log # View commit history git push origin main # Push code to remote repository  

🧪 Example

🌐 Working with GitHub

GitHub is a cloud platform for hosting your Git repositories. After creating a repository on GitHub, you can connect it to your local repo using:

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

🧠 Summary

• Git is a tool to track code changes and collaborate with others.
• GitHub is an online platform to host your repositories.
• Commands like init, add, commit, and push are your best friends.
