Git & GitHub: Basics 🚀
Starting with Git 🌱
git initInitializes a new Git repository in your project folder. Creates a new time machine for your code!
Pushing Code to GitHub 📤
git add .Adds all your changes to a staging area. Stages your changes for commit (turns them green in some editors)
git commit -m "Your message here"Takes a snapshot of your changes. Saves your changes locally
git push origin mainSends your changes to GitHub. Updates the online repository.
Pulling Code from GitHub 📥
git pull origin mainDownloads and merges changes from GitHub. Updates your local environment with the latest code
Merging Changes from GitHub 🧩
git fetch originDownloads changes without merging. Gets the latest code without changing your local files
git merge origin/mainMerges the changes into your local branch. Combines the latest code with your local changes
Ignoring Local Changes and Getting Code from GitHub 🙈
git fetch originDownloads the latest code.
git reset --hard origin/mainIgnores your local changes and replaces them with the code from GitHub. Wipes local changes and matches the online repository
Saving Local Changes but Merging from GitHub 💾
git stashTemporarily saves your local changes. Puts your changes aside
git pull origin mainDownloads and merges the latest code
git stash applyBrings back your saved local changes. Reapplies your changes on top of the latest code.
Some code editors show uncommitted changes in red, staged changes in green, etc. It's like a traffic light for your code! 🚦
Note: Replace main with your branch name if it's different.
