The basics of using Git, a version control system, have been outlined in a recent article. Git allows developers to collaborate effectively by tracking changes made to a codebase over time, enabling easy reversion to previous versions if needed. Version control systems, such as Git, provide a history of all changes, identify incompatible changes, and facilitate distributed team coordination. To use Git, developers initialize a repository, add files to track, commit changes, and push to remote repositories. The command line is used to execute these steps, with commands such as git init, git add, and git commit. Remote repositories, such as GitHub, can be added and removed, and branches can be created and merged. Git also allows for tagging specific release points, enabling easy deployment. By using Git, developers can efficiently manage their codebase and collaborate with others, making it a crucial tool in the software development industry, used by companies such as GitHub, GitLab, and BitBucket.
