GIT COMMANDS #part1
As a developer, they are basic systems that we must know and be able to properly use them, one of such amazing tools is git so, what is git?
well git is “ a version control tool that helps us work with GITHUB in the best way possible”. So to explain this better below are some git commands and what they do:
git init -> this command is used to create a new repository locally i.e, you can create a folder in your pc and then turn that folder into a repo , you simply use the git init command.
git status -> this command is used to check the condition of your repository what this means is that if you perhaps edited a file in your repository locally you can use the git status command to to know if it has been modified or if it is unchanged. This command is very handy especially if you are working with multiple branches locally.
git add -> this command is to track files and changes done locally in your repo , wait! just to say “repo means repository” sorry if am saying this now.
git commit -> this command is to save the changes youv’e done on the files in your repo locally.
git push -> this command is used to deploy your updated or newly created files to your GITHUB repository.
git checkout -> this command is used to switch between available branches in your repo.
git checkout -b ‘branch-name’ -> this comand is used to create branches locally
git diff ‘branch-name’ -> this command is used to see the changes done to files in a particular branch.
git merge ‘branch-name’ -> this command is used to merge 2 branches together .
Please after reading this i will love if you could comment what you think about my little article.
