## Introduction
Git is a powerful version control system that allows you to track changes to your code and collaborate with others. GitHub is a web-based platform that uses Git for version control and provides a suite of tools for collaborative development.
## Getting Started with Git
### Installing Git
To install Git, follow the instructions for your operating system:
- **Windows:** Download the Git installer from [git-scm.com](https://git-scm.com/) and follow the installation instructions.
- **Mac:** Use Homebrew to install Git with `brew install git`.
- **Linux:** Use your distribution's package manager to install Git, e.g., `sudo apt-get install git`.
### Basic Git Commands
Here are some basic Git commands to get you started:
- `git init`: Initialize a new Git repository.
- `git clone `: Clone a remote repository.
- `git status`: Check the status of your repository.
- `git add `: Add a file to the staging area.
- `git commit -m "message"`: Commit changes with a message.
- `git push`: Push changes to the remote repository.
- `git pull`: Pull changes from the remote repository.
## Working with GitHub
### Creating a GitHub Repository
1. Go to [GitHub](https://github.com/) and sign in.
2. Click the "New" button to create a new repository.
3. Enter a repository name and description.
4. Choose to make the repository public or private.
5. Click "Create repository".
### Cloning a Repository
To clone a repository, use the `git clone` command followed by the repository URL:
```sh
git clone https://github.com/username/repository.git
```
# Pull Requests and Merging
1. **Create a new branch for your feature or bug fix.**
2. **Make your changes and commit them.**
3. **Push the branch to GitHub.**
4. **Open a pull request on GitHub.**
5. **Request a review and address any feedback.**
6. **Merge the pull request once approved.**
# Advanced Git Techniques
## Branching Strategies
- **Feature Branching:** Use separate branches for each feature or bug fix.
- **Git Flow:** A popular workflow that uses feature, release, and hotfix branches.
- **Trunk-Based Development:** Keep branches short-lived and merge changes frequently to the main branch.
## Rebasing vs. Merging
- **Rebasing:** Reapply commits on top of another base tip.
- **Merging:** Combine multiple sequences of commits into one unified history.
## Stashing Changes
Use `git stash` to temporarily save changes that are not ready to be committed:
```sh
git stash
git stash apply
```
# Best Practices
## Writing Good Commit Messages
- Use the imperative mood ("Fix bug" not "Fixed bug").
- Keep the message short and descriptive.
- Provide context if necessary.
## Maintaining a Clean History
- Rebase and squash commits to keep history clean.
- Use meaningful commit messages.
