GIT Master Bundle
20+ Super Important Git Commands That Every Developer Should Know To Ace Git Interviews
Let’s refresh and test your Git knowledge
Git is a system for tracking and maintaining code changes. But it’s better than most version control systems because it’s distributed, flexible, and fast.
And since Git is so powerful and well-accepted, interviewers are constantly looking to test your Git experience. This includes discussing commands, ideas, working, etc.
This series aims to prepare you for that interview.
While Part 1 of the Git Master Bundle covers the different components of Git and how they work together, Part 2 covers the commands.
So, let’s get started!
1. git-init
The first command you need to know when working with Git is git init
.
It creates a hidden folder called .git
. It contains a bunch of files and folders needed by Git to reference that particular directory.
Basically, this command initializes a new Git repository in your current working directory. Then, you can start tracking changes.
