    Q1. What is Git?

    Git is a DevOps tool used for source code management. It is a


    free and open-source version control system used to handle
    small to very large projects efficiently. Git is used to tracking
    changes in the source code, enabling multiple developers to
    work together on non-linear development.

    Q2. Difference between Git and GitHub.


    Git is a free, open-source software distributed version control
    system (DVCS) designed to manage all source code history.
    Meanwhile GitHub, is a web-based hosting service for Git
    repositories.

     Some basic terminologies used in the git


    1. Repository/repo
    It can be considered as an empty folder during the initial
    stage. Later on, we can fill the repository with files and the
    changes we are doing in it.
    2. Staging area
    It can be described as an area which shows that what files
    are going to be changed after the commit.
    3. Remote branch
    It is the branch name of the repository which we have
    cloned.
    Q3. How to install git on windows and linux distributions?
    For Windows Users
    - Go to google and search git bash
    - https://git-scm.com/downloads
    - Open the above link and install the latest version of the git
    bash.
    - After downloading install the software by following the
    recommended settings.
    For Linux Users
    - Get superuser access thorough sudo su.
    - Enter your password of the pc to enable superuser access.
    - Now type this command
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install git

    Q4. How to push to an initial commit in an empty


    repository?
    i. Create an empty repository.
    ii. Initialise and empty local repository.
    iii. Now type git status to check the files.
    iv. Add all the changes in the staging area.
    v. Commit all the changes.
    vi. Remotely add the empty repository.
    vii. Change the branch name.
    viii. Push in the remote branch.

    Commands Required:
    - git init
    - git status
    - git add -A
    - git commit
    - git remote add in link_of_the_empty_repository
    - git checkout -b new_branch_name
    - git push in new_branch_name
    Some necessary git commands needed by the developer.
     git init
    This command initialises a empty git repository in the
    current working directory.
     git add -A
    This command adds all the changed files in the staging
    area.
     git commit
    This command used to save your changes to the local
    repository.
     git push -f
    This command pushes your local changes to the repository
    on the GitHub. To perform this action GitHub username
    and token is required.
     git clone
    This command downloads the repository to your local
    machine or pc.
     git cherry-pick
    This command helps to pick a specific feature from
    different repository.
    This command is powerful and it generates HEADS during
    the execution of command. These HEADS need to be
    resolved in order to cleanly pick a feature.
     git rebase
    This is the most powerful command in git. This command
    has power to remove any unwanted commit and it also has
    power to fix any mistake occurred in the previous commit.
    This command can take an hour to understand. So, we will
    discuss about this in any other session.

    git commit --amend --date="Sun April 23 22:00


    2023 +0530"

    git remote add branch repo_link


    git fetch branch
    git cherry-pick hash_code
