Git is one of those tools that we take for granted when writing software. Here are some basic commands to get you started on your journey as a programmer.
Setting up
git init ...
Making Your Changes
Git Status
git status
Git Add
git add .
The Git Add command adds in files with changes that need to be committed into a staging area. At this point, the changes are not yet saved, although they are recorded down.
Git Commit
git commit -m "<insert commit message here>"
Git commit, as the name suggests, saves your changes as a commit. It is customary to add a commit message using the -m flag, which serves as a descriptive reminder of the changes that you have made. This might not seem so useful when you are making changes to code that you alone work on.
