Git Basics for Data Scientists

Git is a version control system that allows you to track changes made to your codebase over time. It’s an essential tool for developers, as it enables you to:

  • Keep track of changes made to your codebase
  • Collaborate with others on coding projects
  • Version control your codebase
  • Roll-back changes if something goes wrong

Here are some basic Git commands to get you started:

  • Initialize a new Git repository: git init
  • Check the status of your repository: git status
  • Create a new branch: git branch <branch-name>
  • Make changes to your codebase: git add <file-name>
  • Commit your changes: git commit -m "<commit-message>"
  • Push your changes to a remote repository: git push
