The document explains how Git and GitHub facilitate version control, allowing users to track changes, collaborate on projects, and maintain a history of edits. It highlights key operations such as cloning repositories, staging changes, committing, and pushing updates, along with managing branches for testing new code. The benefits of using GitHub include reproducibility of work, visibility of projects, and improved documentation.

•Can also use ’add’ command to stage
specific files
git commit –m <commit notes>
•Commits the changes to your local
repository
•Lets you document the latest changes
you've made
git push
•Sends your changes to the remote
repository (on GitHub)
Edit, stage/add, commit, push, repeat!

11. • Pull changes from the remote (GitHub) repo that have been made by others to
work on the latest versiongit pull
• Create a new ”branch” of your repo to test out new code while keeping the old
”master branch”
• Can create multiple branches and name them whatever you want
git branch <branch name>
• Merges multiple branches together to make one cohesive repo again
• Also resolves conflicts between your version and the version you're trying to
pull from GitHub
git merge
• Similar to git branch, except it copies someone’s repo into a whole new
separate repogit fork
