Git is a powerful version control system that is widely used by developers to manage their code and collaborate with others. In this blog post, we will cover some of the most essential Git commands that are useful for managing and collaborating on code.
"git init" - Initializes a new Git repository.
"git clone [repository]" - Clones a remote repository to your local machine.
"git status" - Shows the status of your working directory, including which files have been modified or added.
"git add [file]" - Adds a file to the staging area, which is the area where changes are tracked before they are committed.
"git commit -m "[message]" - Commits the changes in the staging area to the repository, with a message describing the changes.
"git log" - Shows a log of all the commits in the repository, including the author, date, and commit message.
"git diff" - Shows the differences between the current state of the working directory and the last commit.
"git branch" - Shows the list of branches in the repository, and the current branch you are working on.
"git checkout [branch]" - Switch to a different branch or commit.
"git pull" - Fetches the latest changes from the remote repository and merges them with your local copy.
"git push" - Pushes your local commits to the remote repository.
"git remote add [remote name] [remote repository]" - Adds a remote repository to your local repository so that you can push and pull changes.
"git merge [branch]" - Merges a specified branch with the current branch you are on.
