Welcome to My Project. Author: Jem firstname: Justine LastName = Mavunje Cheat Sheet - Git Commands Used in This Section In this section, you created and worked with a local repository. You used the following Git commands Initialize an empty Git repository: git init Show the status of your repository: git status Stage a specific file: git add readme.txt Stage all changed files: git add . Commit the staged files: git commit -m "Create readme file" Define notepad as an editor. It will be used when you run the git commit command without -m parameter: git config --global core.editor notepad Show the changes of a specific file: git diff readme.txt Show the changes in your working directory: git diff Show the changes in your staging area: git diff --staged Show the history/log: git log Show the history/log with one commit per line: git log --pretty=oneline Checkout a specific commit by its snapshot hash: git checkout b346471 Navigate back to your main branch: git checkout main Now you know how to work with a local repository. In the next section, you will learn how to branch and merge your code. This can be helpful when you want to work on different features in parallel. But before that, let's test your knowledge with some learning questions.
