Detailed explanation

git init This command initializes a new Git repository in the current directory. It creates a new .git directory, which contains all the necessary files and folders for version control.

git clone This command is used to create a local copy of a remote Git repository. It downloads all the files and folders from the remote repository to your local machine.

git add This command adds files to the staging area, which prepares them for committing. It is used to tell Git which files should be included in the next commit.

git commit This command creates a new commit, which is a snapshot of the changes made to the files in the staging area. It is used to save changes to the local repository.

git push This command is used to upload the local repository to a remote Git repository. It sends all the new commits to the remote repository, making them available to other team members.

git pull This command is used to download the latest changes from a remote Git repository. It fetches all the new commits from the remote repository and merges them into the local repository.

git branch This command is used to create a new branch in the Git repository. It allows you to work on multiple features or bug fixes in parallel without affecting the main branch.

git checkout This command is used to switch between different branches in the Git repository. It allows you to work on a specific branch and make changes without affecting other branches.

git merge This command is used to merge two or more branches in the Git repository. It combines the changes made in different branches and creates a new commit with the merged changes.

git log This command is used to view the commit history of the Git repository. It shows a list of all the commits made to the repository, along with the author, date, and commit message.
