Git Introduction

Git is a powerful version control system that helps developers manage and track changes to their codebase. Here are some essential Git commands that every developer should know:

👉 Git Pull: This command allows you to fetch and merge changes from a remote repository into your local branch. It’s a useful command for keeping your local repository up-to-date with the latest changes made by your collaborators.

👉Git Pull –force: This command is similar to git pull, but it forces the merge even if there are conflicts. Be careful when using this command, as it can overwrite local changes that haven’t been committed yet.

👉Git Push: This command allows you to push your local changes to a remote repository. It’s a useful command for sharing your work with others and keeping your remote repository up-to-date.

👉Git Push –force: This command is similar to git push, but it forces the push even if there are conflicts. Be careful when using this command, as it can overwrite changes made by others on the remote repository.

👉Git Revert: This command allows you to undo a previous commit by creating a new commit that undoes the changes made in the previous commit. It’s a useful command for undoing changes that have already been pushed to a remote repository.

👉Git Reset –hard: This command allows you to reset your local branch to a previous commit. It’s a powerful command that can be used to undo changes made to your local repository, but be careful when using it, as it can permanently delete changes that haven’t been committed yet.

👉Git Merge: git merging is basically to merge multiple sequences of commits, stored in multiple branches in a unified history or to be simple you can say in a single branch.

👉Git Rebase: Rebasing is the process of moving or combining a sequence of commits to a new base commit. Rebasing is most useful and easily visualized in the context of a feature branching workflow.

👉Git Cherry-pick: It is a powerful command that enables arbitrary Git commits to be picked by reference and appended to the current working HEAD. Cherry picking is the act of picking a commit from a branch and applying it to another. git cherry-pick can be useful for undoing changes. For example, say a commit is accidently made to the wrong branch. You can switch to the correct branch and cherry-pick the commit to where it should belong.

👉Git Log: git log command is Git’s basic tool for exploring a repository’s history. It’s what you use when you need to find a specific version of a project or figure out what changes will be introduced by merging in a feature branch.

👉Git Log: git reset –hard option resets the current branch tip, and also deletes any changes in the working directory and staging area. Therefore, it resets index entries to the state of the specified commit.

Overall, these Git commands are essential tools for developers to manage their codebase and collaborate effectively with others. By learning and mastering these commands, you can improve your productivity and efficiency as a developer
