What is .gitignore?

The .gitignore file lets you exclude files from being tracked by Git.

For example:

You don’t want to track temporary files, build folders, or secrets.
Git skips whatever matches the patterns inside .gitignore.

Git command:

git init - Initialized empty Git repository like C:/Users/name/gitHubBasic/.git/
This sets up a .git folder to track your project.
git status - Shows what's been modified, added, or deleted — and whether anything is staged or not.
The below three command use for:Files in the staging area are ready to be committed.
- git add <file_name> - add a single file
- git add . - add all files in the current folder (and subfolders)
- git add *.html - add all HTML files
git commit -m "Your message here" - This saves a snapshot of your staged changes.

🔸 The -m lets you write a message describing what changed.
git branch - Shows a list of all branches in your repo. The current one is marked with *.
git branch new-feature - This creates a new branch named new-feature but doesn’t switch to it yet.
git checkout new-feature - This moves you to the new-feature branch so you can work there.
git checkout -b new-feature - The above two steps can be done in a single command.
git branch -d branch_name - This deletes branch named branch_name.
git commit -help - This command to view the history of commits for the repository.
git merge new-email - This command to merge the current branch with the branch "new-email".

How to push projects from vs code to GitHub?

Before creating repository in gitHub, we need SSH keys.

To create SSH keys:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "your_email@example.com"

Enter file in which to save the key (/home/user/.ssh/id_rsa): 
# Press Enter to accept the default path.
# Set a passphrase (optional but recommended).

Locate your public key:

Once generated, you'll have:

id_rsa — private key (DON’T share this)
id_rsa.pub — public key (this one you share with GitHub/GitLab)

    clip < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
    # for windows
    # This copies your key to the clipboard.

After that go and paste this SSH key to gitHub.

Now, you can create repository.

To create respository:

set repository name(you can do also many things) and create repository.
After that you will see some steps follow them .

Command:

git remote add origin https://abc.xyz/d/e.git - This command to add the remote repository "https://abc.xyz/d/e.git" as "origin".
git push origin - This command to push the current repository to the remote origin.
git fetch origin - This command to get all the change history of the remote repository "origin".
git diff new-email - This command to show the differences between the current branch and the branch "new-email".
**git clone <repo_url> -**What it does:
- Downloads all the files from the repo
- Brings in the entire commit history
- Sets up a remote connection called origin
git pull [remote] [branch] - This does two things:
- git fetch → downloads the latest changes from the remote.
- git merge → merges those changes into your current branch.
- When to Use It:
  - You've been working in a team and want the latest code from GitHub.
  - You want to update your local repo with the latest changes from the remote.

After doing first two command from above command, your repository is created .
