Getting Started with Git for Version Control.

Introduction: Version control is crucial in software development, allowing teams to collaborate efficiently and track changes in their codebase. Git, a distributed version control system, is widely used for its flexibility and powerful features. This tutorial will guide you through the basics of Git, from installation to creating repositories and collaborating with others.
Step 1: Installing Git •Begin by downloading Git from the official website (https://git-scm.com/). •Follow the installation instructions for your operating system. •Verify the installation by opening a terminal and typing git --version.
Step 2: Configuring Git •Set your username and email using the following commands: git config --global user. name "Your Name" git config --global user.email "your.email@example.com"
Step 3: Initializing a Repository •Create a new directory for your project. •Open a terminal, navigate to the project directory, and run: git init
Step 4: Adding and Committing Changes • Create or edit files in your project. •Use the following commands to stage and commit changes: git add. git commit -m "Your commit message here"
Step 5: Branching and Merging •Create a new branch for feature development: git branch feature_branch git checkout feature_branch •Make changes and commit them on the new branch. •Switch back to the main branch: git checkout main •Merge the feature branch into the main branch: git merge feature_branch
Step 6: Remote Repositories and Collaboration •Connect your local repository to a remote repository on platforms like GitHub or GitLab. •Clone a remote repository: git clone remote_repository_url •Push changes to the remote repository: git push origin main
Step 7: Handling Conflicts •In case of merge conflicts, resolve them manually in the affected files. •Use git status to identify conflicted files and git add to mark them as resolved. •Complete the merge with git merge --continue
