Introduction to Git and GitHub
Git is an open source and free source control management system that allows you to
manage changes to files over time and go back to see what those changes were.
GitHub is a hosting platform where you can collaborate with others on your Git
repositories. In this tutorial, we will learn how to use both Git and GitHub.
What is Git?
With Git, you can manage changes to files over time and go back and see what those
changes were. For example, if you need to update a text on your website, you can
create another version of the website, make the update, and then merge it back into
the main branch. You can also revert back to a previous version if needed.
Installing Git
To install Git, go to the Git website and download the appropriate version for your
operating system. Once installed, you can use any terminal to interact with Git.
You can use Git Bash, PowerShell, or Command Prompt on Windows, or the Terminal app
on Mac. You can also download third-party terminals like Hyper.
Configuring Git
Before using Git, you need to configure it by specifying your name, email address,
and default branch name. To do this, open Git Bash and type the following commands:
git config global user.name "Your Name"
git config global user.email "Your Email"
git config global init.defaultBranch main
You can use the git config command to configure other settings as well. If you're
not sure what a command does or what options it has, you can ask Git for help by
typing git help <command>.
Creating a Git Repository
To use Git for source control, you need to turn your project folder into a Git
repository. To do this, navigate to your project folder in Git Bash and type git
init. This will create a new folder called .git that contains all the necessary
repository files.
You can use the git status command to see the status of your repository and make
sure everything is up to date.
Introduction to Git
Git is a version control system that allows you to track changes made to files over
time. In this tutorial, we will cover the basics of Git and how to use it to manage
your project files.
Tracking Files with Git
When you start using Git, all of your files are untracked. This means that Git is
not keeping track of any changes made to those files. To track a file, you can use
the command git add filename. This will add the file to Git's tracking system.
To confirm which files are currently being tracked, use the command git status.
If you no longer want to track a file, use the command git rm --cached filename.
Ignoring Files with .gitignore
You may have certain files that you want to ignore and not track with Git. To do
this, you can create a .gitignore file in your project directory. In this file, you
can list all of the files and directories that you want Git to ignore.
To create a .gitignore file, right-click in your project directory and select "New"
> "Text Document".
Rename the file to .gitignore.
Open the file in a text editor and list the files and directories you want Git to
