Git Common Commands Quick Reference: Remember These 10 Commands, Git Operations Will Be Easy

This article introduces 10 core and commonly used Git commands to help beginners quickly master basic operations. The core commands cover the complete workflow from initialization to collaboration: - **Initialization/Clone**: `git init` initializes a local repository, and `git clone` copies code from a remote repository; - **Modify and Commit**: `git add` stages changes (use `.` for a single file or entire directory), and `git commit -m "message"` commits to the local repository (with clear commit messages); - **Status and History**: `git status` checks repository status, and `git log` views commit history (`--oneline` for a concise format); - **Branch Management**: `git checkout -b branch-name` creates and switches to a branch, and `git merge branch-name` merges branches (note conflict handling); - **Collaboration Operations**: `git pull` fetches and merges remote code, and `git push origin branch-name` pushes a local branch to the remote. The core workflow is: Initialize/Clone → Stage modifications (add) → Commit → Branch management → Collaboration (pull/push). Beginners can gradually become proficient through practice, reducing version management chaos.
