2. Branching and Merging

Estimated reading: 1 minute 19 views

These Git commands are essential for managing branches and handling changes in your codebase:

  • git branch: Lists, creates, or deletes branches in your Git repository, allowing you to work on different features or versions of your project independently.
  • git checkout <branch>: Switches to the specified branch, enabling you to work on it instead of the current branch.
  • git merge: Combines changes from one branch into another. It’s often used to bring updates from a feature branch into the main branch.
  • git rebase: Reapplies commits from one branch onto another, making the history linear by integrating changes in a different order than merge.
  • git diff: Shows the differences between files or commits, helping you review changes before committing them or after merging branches.
