What is Version Control System?
Version Control System manages the entire process
of version and keeps the track of the changes made.
We need VCS to:
track the changes made,
revert back to any versions when needed,
compare the changes made between any two
versions,
to know information like who, when, why made
the changes,
to get all these benefits with minimal effort.
02
Before we learn Git
Let's learn about CLI
Command line Interface Graphical User Interface
Basic CLI Commands
$ pwd
Prints the full name (the full path) of
current/working directory
Changes the working directory to Desktop.
$ cd Desktop
Use this to navigate around CLI
$ ls List directory contents.
$ mkdir name Create a new directory called name.
$ rm file.txt Removes the file file.txt
Let's Try it!
What is Git?
Git is a free and open
Let's Install Git
source distributed version https://git-scm.com/downloads
control system designed
to handle everything from
small to very large Let's Install VSC
projects with speed and

efficiency.
Setup Git
Check version
$ git --version
Add in your name
$ git config --global user.name “[firstname lastname]”
Add in your email id

How Git works
Git Commands
It displays the state of working tree and staging area.
$
git status
It starts to track a fileby adding it to the staging area
$
git add [file]
It unstages the file
$
git reset [file]
Git Commands
It commits your changes and captures a new snapshot
$ git commit -m "Some valuable message"
It displays all the commits in the current branch.
$ git log
Branching
Git Commands
List your branches
$ git branch
Creates a new branch from the current commit
$ git branch [name]
Switchs to another branch
$ git checkout [name]
Merges the specified branch’s history into the current one
$ git merge [branch]
Git ignore
What is GitHub
Till now, we have all the changes made
saved in our local system only.
To host our repository online, we need
a server or hosting platform.
GitHub is a repository hosting platform
that uses Git in its core.
Let's make an account!

Some Terminologies
Fork: A fork is a copy of a repository that allows you to
freely experiment with changes without affecting the original
project.
Pull requests: A PR is request sent to the repo to merge new
commits into the repo.
Issues: Issues is what it sounds. It can be a new feature, bug,
documentation problem and many more.
