=== Key Git Concepts === When working with Git, it is crucial to understand these core concepts: 1. **Clone**: Cloning a repository creates a local copy of the remote repository, allowing developers to work with the code locally in their development environment. The clone command initializes a new Git repository on the local machine, copying all the files and history from the remote repository. 2. **Pull**: Pulling retrieves the latest changes from the remote repository and merges them into the local workspace. It is essential to regularly pull updates to stay up to date with the latest changes made by other team members. 3. **Commit**: Committing is the process of saving changes to the local repository. Before committing, developers can review their modifications and can choose to include or exclude specific files. Each commit represents a logical unit of work and should contain meaningful changes. 4. **Push**: Pushing involves sharing local commits with the remote repository. It propagates the changes made to the local repository to the shared codebase, enabling other team members to access and integrate those changes into their own local repositories. 5. **Merge**: Merging combines changes from different branches into a single branch, allowing developers to integrate their work seamlessly. Git uses various merge strategies, such as fast-forward merges or three-way merges, to keep the history consistent and resolve conflicts between different branches.
