Git Basics for Beginners

Git is a distributed version control system. It helps you track changes, collaborate with others, and manage code more effectively.

Why Use Git?

  • Track every change in your project
  • Collaborate with team members easily
  • Roll back to previous versions when needed

Common Git Commands

shell
# Initialize a new Git repository
git init

# Check the status of your repository
git status

# Stage changes
git add .

# Commit changes
git commit -m "Initial commit"

# Push to a remote repository
git push origin main

Best Practices

  • Write meaningful commit messages
  • Commit often but logically
  • Always pull before pushing changes
