Welcome to the official Git documentation! This guide will help you understand the core concepts of Git, a powerful version control system.
Git is used to track changes to your files, allowing you to revert to previous versions and collaborate with others.
Branches are like parallel lines of development. You can create new branches to work on new features or bug fixes without affecting the main codebase.
Examples: `main`, `develop`, `feature/new-feature`
The staging area holds the changes you've made to your files that you want to include in your next commit.
It's a buffer between your working directory and the repository.
A commit is a snapshot of your project at a specific point in time. It includes all the changes you've made to your files.
Each commit has a unique identifier (SHA-1 hash).
To undo a commit, you can use `git reset` (carefully!). It moves the branch to a previous commit.
To share your changes with others, push them to a remote repository (like GitHub or GitLab).
To get the latest changes from the remote repository, you can `git pull`
A new branch allows you to start a new project without affecting the main code.
To create a new branch, use `git branch
Git supports multiple developers working on the same project, making collaboration easy.
