Git is a version control system that tracks code changes and facilitates collaboration on code.
In this tutorial, we will demonstrate Git commands like this:
|
[user@localhost] $ |
git --version |
For new users, the terminal view might seem a bit daunting. Don’t worry! We’ll keep it simple, and learning this way will give you a solid understanding of how Git works.
In the code above, you can see both commands (input) and their output.
Commands we enter look like this:
|
[user@localhost] $ |
git –version |
Lines like this represent the output or response to our commands:
