|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Git is a distributed version control system that helps you track changes, collaborate with others, and manage your project history.
|
|
|
|
## Getting started
|
|
|
|
If you're new to Git, start with these essential commands:
|
|
|
|
- [git init](/git/init) - Initialize a new Git repository
|
|
- [git clone](/git/clone) - Copy an existing repository
|
|
- [git config](/git/config) - Configure your Git settings
|
|
|
|
## Basic workflow
|
|
|
|
These commands form the core Git workflow:
|
|
|
|
- [git status](/git/status) - Check repository status
|
|
- [git add](/git/add) - Stage changes for commit
|
|
- [git commit](/git/commit) - Save changes to repository
|
|
- [git log](/git/log) - View commit history
|
|
|
|
## Working with branches
|
|
|
|
Branches let you work on features independently:
|
|
|
|
- [git branch](/git/branch) - List, create, or delete branches
|
|
- [git checkout](/git/checkout) - Switch between branches
|
|
- [git merge](/git/merge) - Combine branches
|
|
- [git rebase](/git/rebase) - Reapply commits on top of another branch
|
|
|
|
## Syncing with remotes
|
|
|
|
Share your work with remote repositories:
|
|
|
|
- [git remote](/git/remote) - Manage remote repositories
|
|
- [git fetch](/git/fetch) - Download objects from remote
|
|
- [git pull](/git/pull) - Fetch and merge changes
|
|
- [git push](/git/push) - Upload local changes
|
|
|
|
## Inspecting changes
|
|
|
|
Review and compare your work:
|
|
|
|
- [git diff](/git/diff) - Show changes between commits
|
|
- [git show](/git/show) - Display commit details
|
|
- [git blame](/git/blame) - Show who modified each line
|
|
|
|
## Undoing changes
|
|
|
|
Fix mistakes and revert changes:
|
|
|
|
- [git reset](/git/reset) - Undo commits or unstage files
|
|
- [git revert](/git/revert) - Create new commit that undoes changes
|
|
- [git restore](/git/restore) - Discard changes in working directory
|
|
- [git stash](/git/stash) - Temporarily save changes
|
|
|
|
## Advanced operations
|
|
|
|
For more complex workflows:
|
|
|
|
- [git tag](/git/tag) - Mark specific points in history
|
|
- [git cherry-pick](/git/cherry-pick) - Apply specific commits
|
|
- [git reflog](/git/reflog) - View reference logs
|
|
|
