Git is a distributed version control system. It helps in tracking changes in source code during software development.
The git init command is used to create a new, empty Git repository or to reinitialize an existing one.
Use the git status command to display the state of the working directory and the staging area.
The git clone command is used to create a copy of an existing repository on your local machine.
The git add command adds file changes in the working directory to the staging area (index).
A .gitignore file specifies `files` that Git should intentionally omit. This avoids tracking changes to files that were not meant to be committed.
The git commit -m 'message' command is used to commit staged changes with a message describing the changes.
The git log command shows the commit history for the specified branch.
To create a new branch, use the git branch [branch-name] command.
The git checkout [branch-name] command is used to switch branches in your working directory.
The git stash command temporarily saves all the changes you have made so that you can work on them later.
