Daily used Git commands.

Let’s consider an example where you have a project named “my-project” and you want to use Git for version control. Here’s how you can use Git commands in your daily workflow:

1. Initializing a Git Repository:

   cd my-project
   git init
   

2. Adding and Committing Changes:

   git add <file1> <file2>  # Add specific files
   git add .               # Add all files
   git status              # Check the status of the repository
   git commit -m "Initial commit"
   

3. Cloning a Remote Repository:

   git clone <repository-url>
   

4. Pulling and Pushing Changes:

   git pull origin <branch>  # Fetch and merge remote changes
   git push origin <branch>  # Push local changes to remote repository
   

5. Creating and Switching Branches:

   git branch                   # List all branches
   git branch <new-branch>      # Create a new branch
   git checkout <branch>        # Switch to a different branch
   

6. Merging Branches:

   git checkout <target-branch>  # Switch to the target branch
   git merge <source-branch>     # Merge the source branch into the target branch
   

7. Viewing Commit History:

   git log                # Show commit history
   git log --oneline      # Show condensed commit history
   

8. Checking Differences:

   git diff               # Show differences between working directory and staging area
   git diff --staged      # Show differences between staging area and last commit
   

9. Adding Remote Repositories:

   git remote add <name> <url>    # Add a remote repository
   git remote -v                  # List all remote repositories
   

10. Discarding Changes:

    git checkout -- <file>    # Discard changes in a specific file
    git reset --hard          # Discard all local changes and reset to last commit
    

These commands should give you a good starting point for using Git in your project. Remember to replace <file>, <branch>, <repository-url>, and <new-branch> with the appropriate values specific to your project.
