Git Tutorial Repository 🚀

Welcome to the Git Tutorial Repository! This repo is powered by DeepSeek ai and designed to help you learn Git, a distributed version control system that allows developers to track changes in their code, collaborate seamlessly, and manage projects efficiently. Whether you're new to Git or brushing up your skills, this tutorial will guide you through essential concepts and workflows.

📚 What is Git?

Git is a free, open-source version control system created by Linus Torvalds. It helps you:

• Track changes in your code over time.
• Collaborate with others without overwriting work.
• Revert to previous versions of your project.
• Manage multiple branches of development.

This repository includes hands-on examples and a cheatsheet to help you master Git commands and workflows.

🌿 Using Branches in This Tutorial

This repo uses branches to isolate different Git concepts. Each branch focuses on a specific topic (e.g., basics, branching, collaboration, advanced). Follow these steps to explore:

Step 1: List Available Branches

git branch -a

Step 2: Switch to a Branch

For example, to learn about branching workflows, use:

git checkout branching

Step 3: Explore the Branch

For example, to learn about branching workflows, use:

• Study the example files and comments.

• Practice commands listed in the cheatsheet.md.

• Return to the main branch when done:

git checkout main

📂 Branch Overview

Branch Name	Topic Covered
basics	Initializing repos, staging, committing
branching	Creating, merging, and rebasing branches
collaboration	Remote repos, fetching, pushing, and pulling
advanced	Stashing, resetting, tags, and cherry-picking

🚨 Practice Workflow

This repo uses branches to isolate different Git concepts. Each branch focuses on a specific topic (e.g., basics, branching, collaboration, advanced). Follow these steps to explore:

1. Create a New Branch for your experiments:

git checkout -b my-experiment

2. Make changes, stage, and commit them:

git add .
git commit -m "Add experiment feature"

3. Merge your branch back to main when done:

git checkout main
git merge my-experiment

📄 Cheatsheet Quick Access

A handy reference for Git commands is included in cheatsheet.md Use it to review commands for:

• Basic workflows

• Branch management

• Team collaboration

• Advanced techniques
