5. Git Collaboration

Estimated reading: 1 minute 18 views

These Git commands help with managing tags, collaborating via forks and pull requests, and selectively applying commits:

  • git tag: Creates, lists, or deletes tags in a Git repository. Tags are often used to mark specific points in history, like releases or milestones.
  • git fork: Creates a personal copy of someone else’s repository. This allows you to freely experiment with changes without affecting the original project.
  • git pull-request: Initiates a pull request (often used in platforms like GitHub), requesting that changes from a forked repository be merged into the original repository. It’s a way to propose and review changes before they are merged.
  • git cherry-pick: Applies a specific commit from another branch onto your current branch, allowing you to selectively incorporate changes without merging the entire branch.

These commands are essential for collaborating on shared projects, marking key points in your project’s history, and integrating changes from various sources or branches.
