Understanding the Git Workflow in Simple Steps

Git is a powerful tool for version control and team collaboration. This visual tutorial guides you through the main steps of the Git workflow, from adding files to managing commits and synchronizing with a remote repository.
1. Add files to the Staging Area:
Use the git add
command to select the files you want to track. For example:
git add file.txt
2. Record a commit:
Once the files are added, save your changes with a commit. Use:
git commit -m "Description of changes"
.
3. Synchronize with a remote repository:
To share your work or retrieve updates, use git push
to send your changes or git pull
to fetch updates from others.
This process, illustrated in the GIF above, is essential for keeping your projects organized and collaborating effectively.
Dive deeper with commands like git diff
to review changes or git merge
to integrate branches.
