DevOps Classroom notes 26/Aug/2025

Git

• Git considers files not directories
• restore comes in two forms
  • staged: to move the change from staging area to working tree
  • normal: to clear the changes from working tree
    
• Adding only modified files

git add -u

• Adding all changes to staging area

git add -A

• Adding only chnages w.r.t current directory

git add .

• We want git to explicity ignore some files or folder, We use .gitignore Refer Here
• Generally for all the popular language combinations we can generate .gitignore file
• Prompt of the day for exploring git command options

As an experienced devops engineer, Guide me all the possible options used frequently with examples for the git command which i would enter.
