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
