This repository helps me to learn git commands and concepts
Here are some useful git commands
It is a convenient way to set configuration options for your Git installation. You’ll typically only need to use this immediately after installing Git on a new development machine.
For example setting global email and username to your git configuration
git config --global user.name "your name"
git config --global user.email "your email"
Initializes a new Git repository. If you want to place a project under revision control, this is the first command you need to learn.
Basically is used to start a new repository
git init <path to the directory/folder>
or run git init to initialize git in current directory or folder
git init
Creates a copy of an existing Git repository. Cloning is the most common way for developers to obtain a working copy of a central repository.
git clone <url to remote repository>
Moves changes from the working directory to the staging area. This gives you the opportunity to prepare a snapshot before committing it to the official history.
Basically it adds file or directory to the staging area
git add <directoryname/filename>
Takes the staged snapshot and commits it to the project history. Combined with git add, this defines the basic workflow for all Git users. i.e it records or snapshots the file permanently in the version history.
Make sure to give descriptive commit messages
git commit -m 'descriptive message'
