Introduction :
 Git is a version control system that allows developers to track changes to files and collaborate with others on software projects. It allows users to create different versions or “branches” of a project, and merge those branches together when they are ready to be released. Git also allows users to revert to previous versions of a project if necessary. It is widely used in the software development industry and is a crucial tool for collaborative projects.
 Here are commonly used git commands summarized.
git init – Initialize a new Git repository in the current directory
 Example: git init
git clone – Clone an existing repository from a remote location
 Example: git clone https://github.com/user/repo.git
git add *– Add files to the staging area for commit
 Example: git add . (to add all modified and untracked files)
 *
 git commit – Commit the changes in the staging area to the repository
 Example: git commit -m "added new feature"
git push – Push the committed changes to a remote repository
 Example: git push origin master
git pull – Pull changes from a remote repository to the local repository
 Example: git pull origin master
git branch – Create, list, or delete branches in the repository
 Example: git branch new-branch (to create a new branch)
git checkout – Switch to a different branch in the repository
 Example: git checkout new-branch
git merge– Merge two branches together
 Example: git merge new-branch
git diff– Compare differences between two commits or files
 Example: git diff HEAD~1 HEAD (to compare the previous commit with the current commit)
git log– View the commit history of the repository
 Example: git log --oneline (to view a concise summary of the commit history)
git stash – Save changes temporarily without committing them

 Example: git blame file.txt
git ls-files– List all the files in the repository
 Example: git ls-files
git ls-remote– List references in a remote repository
 Example: git ls-remote origin
git gc– Perform garbage collection on the repository

git archive– Create a tar or zip archive of the repository
 Example: git archive --format=zip --output=archive.zip HEAD
git rev-parse – Parse revision information and display it in a useful format
 Example: git rev-parse HEAD
 
 git grep – Search for a pattern in the repository
 Example: git grep "pattern"
 
 git cherry-pick– Apply the changes from a specific commit to the current branch
