Version control is essential to track changes, collaborate, and manage releases.
Key Git Concepts:
- Repository (Repo): Central location for storing code.
- Commit: Save changes with a descriptive message.
- Branch: Work on a separate line of development.
- Merge: Combine branches into main codebase.
- Pull & Push: Sync local changes with remote repository.
Workflow Example:
- Clone repository.
- Create a new branch for a feature (git checkout -b feature-login).
- Make changes and commit frequently (git commit -m "Added login API").
- Push to remote branch (git push origin feature-login).
- Open a pull request for code review and merge.
