Git

• Git has five stages, initially we will be focusing on three areas
  

Git Basic configuration

• This configuration is done to set username and email id of the author

git config --global user.name "<your-username>"
git config --global user.email "<your-email>"

Our current focus areas

Local Repository

• Create a new directory in your system and cd into it
• Now execute git init to initialize a git repository
  

Working Tree

• This is area of work for us
• In this we make changes, add/delete files etc
  

Staging Area

• This is area where the changes can be staged to be part of a commit

Other things to know

• log: This represents the history of the repo.
• status: This command represents what is your current status. For git the ideal status is working tree == local repo
• Tracked and Untracked files: Tracked files represent the files which were part of any commit i.e. they are part of git repo, whereas untracked files are not part of the repo yet.
