1. Git Basics

Git is a version control system that helps track changes in source code during software development. The basic commands for using Git include:

• git init: Initializes a new repository in a project directory.
• git clone <repository>: Creates a local copy of a remote repository to work with.
• git status: Displays the current state of the working directory and staging area, showing what files are modified or untracked.
• git add <file>: Stages changes made to a file, preparing it to be committed.
• git commit -m "<message>": Records the changes in the repository with a message describing the update.
• git log: Views the commit history, showing previous changes made to the repository.
• git reset <file>: Unstages changes made to a file, but keeps the modifications in the working directory.
• git checkout <file>: Discards changes made to a file, restoring it to the last committed version.

These commands are essential for managing project versions and collaborating effectively in a team setting.
