📄️ Introduction to Git
Git is the most widely used version control system (VCS) in modern software development. Almost every software team—small startups, open-source communities, large enterprises—uses Git to track changes, collaborate, and maintain clean, reliable codebases.
📄️ Getting Started with Git
Before you start tracking or committing code, you need to install Git, configure your identity, and understand how to create or clone repositories. This section walks you through everything step-by-step.
📄️ Working with the Workspace
When working with Git, your files move through several states before they become part of your project’s history. Understanding this workflow is essential to using Git effectively and avoiding common mistakes.
📄️ Inspecting History
Understanding your project's history is crucial for debugging, code reviews, and maintaining context about why changes were made. Git provides powerful tools to inspect commits, track down changes, and visualize your repository's evolution.
📄️ Branching & Merging
Branching allows you to work on new features, bug fixes, or experiments without affecting the main codebase. Merging combines those changes back together when they are ready.
📄️ Remote Repositories
So far, we’ve worked mostly with local repositories. But Git becomes really powerful when we collaborate with others or back up our code.
📄️ Collaboration Workflows
When working alone, Git is mainly a version control tool.
📄️ Rewriting History & Advanced Local Ops
As your Git skills grow, you'll eventually need to:
📄️ Tags and Releases
Tags in Git are used to mark specific points in history as important — most commonly to mark release versions (e.g., v1.0.0, v2.1.3).
