# Learning Git!

Learning how to use Git.

Most used commands:

- `git status` - tells you what has been updated.

- `git add filename` - adding a file to staging and Git will start tracking changes.

- `git commit -m "message content"` - registers changes to get ready to upload, a message is also required.

- `git push` - pushing a file/changes on to Github.

- `git pull` - do it every time you get back to the project before you make any changes.

Other commands:

- `git diff filename` - see the differences between the working directory and the staging area.

- `git log` - to refer back or view previous versions.

The commit you are currently on/latest commit, is known as the HEAD commit.

- `git show HEAD` - show info and all the file changes that have been committed.

Backtracking:

- `git checkout HEAD filename` - restore the file to when you last made a commit.

- `git reset HEAD filename` - removes the file from the staging area if you decide you don't want to commit it.

- `git reset commit_SHA` - undo a commit, use the first 7 characters if the SHA (hash code) of a previous commit.

Branching:

Having different branches allows you to work on multiple versions. Your main branch is known as the 'master' branch.

- `git branch` - tells you which branch you're on, lists any other branches on your machine.

- `git branch new_branch` - to create a new branch.

- `git checkout branch_name` - to switch to another branch.
