## Introduction
Welcome to the Git Essentials repository! This repository serves as a comprehensive guide to understanding and mastering Git, a powerful version control system. Whether you're new to Git or looking to deepen your understanding, you'll find everything you need to know right here.
## Key Concepts
Before diving into Git, let's familiarize ourselves with some key concepts:
- **Version Control System (VCS)/Source Code Manager(SCM)**: Git allows you to manage changes to your project over time, providing features like reverting files, reviewing changes, and tracking modifications.
- **Repository (Repo)**: A repository is a directory that contains your project work along with hidden files used by Git. Repositories can be local (on your computer) or remote (on a server).
- **Commit (Snapshot)**: Each commit in Git is like taking a snapshot of your project at a specific point in time. It records the state of all files in your project at that moment.
- **Branch**: A branch is a separate line of development that diverges from the main line. It allows you to work on different features or experiments without affecting the main project.
## Getting Started
To get started with Git, follow these steps:
1. Install Git on your computer. You can download it from the [official Git website](https://git-scm.com/).
2. Set up your Git configuration, including your name and email address. You can do this using the `git config` command.
3. Initialize a new Git repository for your project using the `git init` command.
4. Start making changes to your project files. Use `git add` to stage changes and `git commit` to save them to the repository.
5. Explore branching and merging to manage different lines of development in your project.
