Introduction

Git is a distributed version control system that allows multiple people to work on a project at the same time. It is designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency.

Installation

Before you start using Git, you have to make it available on your computer. Download Git and install it on your machine.

Git Commands

Here are some of the most commonly used Git commands:

• git init: Initializes a new Git repository.
• git add: Adds a file to the staging area.
• git commit: Commits the file to the repository.
• git status: Shows the status of changes as untracked, modified, or staged.
• git pull: Fetches and merges changes on the remote server to your working directory.
• git push: Pushes your changes to the remote repository.

GitHub Authentication

GitHub provides several ways to authenticate, including using a username and password, SSH keys, and personal access tokens. For enhanced security, it is recommended to use personal access tokens or SSH keys.

Branching Strategies

There are several common Git branching strategies, including feature branching, Gitflow, and trunk-based development. Each has its own advantages and is suited to different types of projects.
