Why Git and Github

Here's why

Convenient

Github is like facebook for programmers. Everyone’s on there. You can look at what they’re working on and easily peruse their code and make suggestions or changes.

Simple, fast

Merging collaborators’ changes made easy

Efficient

With github, all of the code is easily inspected, as is its entire history.

Basic Git commands

Git config, Git add, Git commit, Git push

Git add . to add all files. Git add (file_name) to add specific file. Order of commands to put a file on github: add => commit => push

Git Branch

You can create multiple branch on Github with basic commands. The commands: git branch to check current branch; git branch (branch_name) to create a new branch; git checkout (branch_name) to enter that branch

Pushing with other branchs (not main branch)

You can't use Git push to push file in other branch. The command is Git push origin (branch_name)

Merging

You can merge many branchs together. You can use: Git merge (Branch_name_you want to merge). Or use "Compare and pull request" on your Github repository
