To be able to collaborate on Git Projects you would have to interact with Remote Repositories of a project residing online. All teams can use remote repositories to push info to and pull data from.
Cloned Repositories For Cloned repositories, Git will automactically give the “origin” to the server from which you had cloned and had named “master” to your local branch
Seeing your remotes By running the git remote command, you can view the short names, such as “origin,” of all specified remote handles.
By using git remote -v, you can view all the remote URLs next to their corresponding short names.
WHAT IS GIT? Snapshots Git is a DVCS that stores data in a file system made up of “snapshots” Everytime you save a changed version of your project called -COMMMIT- Git creates a “snapshot” of the file and stores a reference to it but if the file hasnt changed, Git only stores a reference to the already stored identical version of it.
Local Operations Git most of time relies on local operations because most necessary info can be found in local resources.
Tracking changes Every single change applied to any file or directory is tracked by Git. And, as the gatekeeper, Git will always detect file corruption or loss of information in transit
Git is set up to greatly minimize the possibility of irreversible damage to files, such as accidentally lost data. Git makes it extremely difficult for a snapshot of your file that is committed to be lost.
Distributed Version Control A Distributed Version Control systems (DVCS) addresses the major vulnerability of the CVS: the server as a single point of failure.
Centralized Version Control The need for collaboration within a developer team on a single file or set of files led to the advent of the Centralized Version Control System (CVCS). This system entails a single server storing all changes and file versions, which can be accessed by various clients
WORKFLOW local reop structure The local git repo has 3 parts
Saving Changes All files in a working copy of a project file are either in a tracked state or untracked state Tracked files can be modified, unmodified, or staged Untacked files werent in the last snapshot and dont currently reside im the staging aera
The life stages of file status First- after youve edited a file, Git flags it as modified because of the changes you had made after the previous changes sec– you staged the modified file thired–you commit staged changes
check file status To determine the state of files, utilize the git status command EX—- $ git status
How does using Git help me become a better software engineer?
Summary: This topic basically explains how to use all the elements on Git. From how to download it on mulitple op systems. IT shows you how to setup and Git Repo THis topic talks about cloning and about when you clone a file you have all the versions from a project This tells you about the 3 componets of a local repo structure and the life cyle of a file
