Basic Git Commands
Hey folks, how’s it going? I’m here to help those who started using Git and still struggle with the commands. In this tutorial I’ll demonstrate some commands that will make your learning journey much easier.
UNDERSTANDING THE GIT WORKFLOW
Git is the most widely used open-source VCS (Version Control System) in the world, and it lets you track changes in your files. Companies and developers around the world use Git to collaborate on building systems and applications.
Git consists of three sections: the working directory, the staging area, and the git directory.
The Working Directory is where you add, remove, and edit your files. Then the changes get indexed in the Staging Area. After you commit your changes, the snapshot of those changes will be saved in the Git Directory.
