development projects.

It helps developers manage project history, work in teams, and maintain clean development workflows.

Why Git is Important:

- Tracks changes in code - Prevents data loss - Enables teamwork - Supports project versioning - Essential for
real-world development

Basic Git Workflow:

Working Directory → Staging Area → Repository

Essential Git Commands:

git init Initializes a new Git repository in a project.

git clone Copies an existing project from GitHub to local system.

git status Shows the current state of changes.

git add . Moves all modified files to staging area.

git commit -m "message" Saves changes with a meaningful description.

git branch feature-login Creates new branch.

git checkout feature-login Switch to branch.

git merge feature-login Merge feature into main branch.

Best Practices:
- Write meaningful commit messages - Use branches for new features - Pull before pushing - Avoid pushing
