• Commit: A commit is an operation which sends the latest changes of the source code to the repository.
• Fetch: It downloads commits, files, and refs from a remote repository into your local repo.
• Git: Git is an open source program for tracking changes in text files.
• Github: GitHub provide a service to an entire organization and use their own identity when performing their function.
• Merge: Merging takes the changes from one branch (in the same repository or from a fork), and applies them into another.
• Merge Conflict: A difference that occurs between merged branches. Merge conflicts happen when people make different changes to the same line of the same file, or when one person edits a file and another person deletes the same file.
• Push: To push means to send your committed changes to a remote repository on GitHub.com.
• Pull: Pulling a branch means to fetch it and merge it.
• Remote: This is the version of a repository or branch that is hosted on a server, most likely GitHub.com.
