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.

This article introduces the core knowledge of Git, a distributed version control system. Git is used to manage code changes, supporting multi - person collaboration and version rollback. To install Git, download the corresponding system version (Windows/macOS/Linux) from the official website and verify it using the command `git --version`. Configure the identity by using `git config --global` to set the name and email. Before cloning a remote repository, copy its URL and execute `git clone` to get it on the local machine. A Git repository is divided into the working area (for editing), the staging area (for pending commits), and the local repository (for versions). The workflow is: make modifications → `git add` to stage → `git commit` to commit → `git push` to push. Common commands include `status` to check the status, `log` to view the history, and `pull` to fetch. The core process is: clone → modify → stage → commit → push. With more practice, you can master it.
