A distributed version control system used for tracking changes in source code during software development.
A storage location where Git keeps all the files and history of a project.
A snapshot of changes made to a repository at a specific point in time.
A separate line of development that allows you to work on different features or bug fixes without affecting the main codebase.
The process of combining changes from one branch into another, typically used to integrate feature branches back into the main branch.
A version of a repository that is hosted on a server, allowing multiple developers to collaborate on the same project.
The process of creating a local copy of a remote repository.
The process of fetching changes from a remote repository and merging them into the current branch.
The process of sending local commits to a remote repository, updating the remote branch with your changes.
A copy of a repository that allows you to freely experiment with changes without affecting the original project.
A way to propose changes to a repository by submitting a request for the owner to review and merge your changes.
A temporary storage area for changes that are not ready to be committed, allowing you to switch branches without losing your work.
The process of moving or combining a sequence of commits to a new base commit, often used to keep your branch up to date with the latest changes from the main branch.
The process of selecting and applying specific commits from one branch to another, allowing you to pick and choose changes.
A way to mark a specific commit as important or significant, often used to indicate release versions or milestones.
The process of undoing changes by moving the current branch to a different commit, discarding any commits in between.
The process of creating a new commit that undoes the changes made in a previous commit, preserving the commit history.
A file that specifies intentionally untracked files and directories that Git should ignore.
A set of guidelines and best practices for using Git in a collaborative development environment.
A strategy for managing branches and releases in a Git repository, such as the popular Gitflow model.
Custom scripts that Git can run before or after certain actions, allowing you to automate tasks or enforce rules.
A command that helps you find the commit that introduced a bug by performing a binary search through the commit history.
A way to include one Git repository as a subdirectory of another Git repository, allowing you to manage dependencies.
A feature that allows you to have multiple working trees associated with a single repository, enabling you to work on different branches simultaneously.
Git Large File Storage, an extension that allows you to manage large files in a Git repository more efficiently.
A graphical user interface for Git, providing a visual representation of the repository and its history.
A custom shortcut or abbreviation for Git commands, making it easier to type and remember complex commands.
A log of all the reference updates in a Git repository, allowing you to recover lost commits or branches.
A command that shows the changes made in one branch but not in another, helping you identify cherry-pick candidates.
A command that creates a tar or zip archive of the contents of a Git repository, useful for creating release packages.
A command that starts the binary search process for finding a bug using git bisect.
A command that removes untracked files from the working directory, helping you keep your repository clean.
A command that shows the differences between commits, branches, or files, helping you understand changes made to the codebase.
A command that shows the commit history of a repository, providing information about who made the changes and when.
A graphical tool that helps you resolve merge conflicts by providing a visual interface for comparing and merging conflicting changes.
A command that allows you to interactively modify and rearrange commits during the rebase process, giving you more control over the commit history.
A command that adds a remote repository to your local repository, allowing you to fetch and push changes to the remote.
A command that discards all changes and moves the current branch to a specific commit, resetting the repository to that state.
A command that shows the details of a specific commit, including the changes made and the commit message.
A command that shows the current state of the repository, including the modified files, untracked files, and the current branch.
A command that creates an annotated tag, allowing you to add a message and additional information to the tag.
A command that switches branches or restores files from a specific commit, allowing you to navigate the repository's history.
A command that downloads changes from a remote repository, updating your local repository's references but not merging the changes.
A command that forcefully pushes your local commits to a remote repository, overwriting any conflicting changes.
A command that fetches changes from a remote repository and rebases your local commits on top of the updated branch, keeping a linear commit history.
A command that shows the differences between the staged changes and the last commit, helping you review your changes before committing.
A command that merges a branch into the current branch, creating a new merge commit even if the merge is a fast-forward.
A command that undoes the changes made in a previous commit without creating a new commit, allowing you to make additional changes before committing.
A command that applies the changes stored in the stash to the current branch, allowing you to continue working on the changes.
A command that marks a specific commit as good during the binary search process, helping you narrow down the range of possible bug introductions.
A command that adds a Git repository as a submodule to your project, allowing you to manage it as a separate entity.
A command that adds a new working tree associated with a different branch to your repository, enabling you to work on multiple branches simultaneously.
A command that specifies which files should be managed by Git LFS, allowing you to version large files more efficiently.
A graphical interface for creating commits in Git, providing a visual representation of the changes and allowing you to add commit messages.
A command that allows you to configure custom aliases for Git commands, making it easier to use and remember your preferred shortcuts.
A command that shows the detailed history of reference updates in a Git repository, including the commit hash, the action performed, and the previous state.
A command that shows the changes made in one branch but not in another, including a verbose output with additional information about the commits.
A command that creates an archive of the repository in the specified format, such as tar or zip, allowing you to distribute the codebase.
