Git Basics

This practice will help you get comfortable with basic git operations: making changes and publishing them.

We will learn the following git operations:

• add changes to the staging area
• commit changes
• push local commits to publish them to GitHub
• pull changes from the remote repository
• 'branch' create a new branch named "branch-1" and push to Github

Other useful commands to see what is going on the git repository:

• status
• log

Exercises

• Fork this repo
• Clone this repo
• Update the README: add some lines to the end and push them to GitHub
• Create a new file called newfile.txt, add some contents to it and push it to GitHub
• Update newfile.txt and push the changes to GitHub
• Open the repository on GitHub and make changes to newfile.txt
• Pull the changes to your local repository
• Create a new branch named "branch-1" and push to Github

2. The difference between git operations add, commit and push is: git add is used to stage the modified files (preparation for commit), git commit is used to commit the staged files in local repository while git push pushes the commits from local repository to the remote repository
