Git Quick Start: Master Basic Operations in 30 Minutes
Git is a distributed version control system (VCS) used to record file modification history, enabling team collaboration and personal history回溯 (retrospection). Its core advantages include version rollback (to prevent accidental modifications), multi - person collaboration (code merging), and local security management (operations first local, then cloud - based). Basic concepts are metaphorized by "areas": Working Directory (drafts), Staging Area (items to be committed), Local Repository (file cabinet), and Remote Repository (cloud - based shared library). Basic operations are divided into five steps: 1. Initialize the repository (`git init`); 2. Configure user information (`config`); 3. Track and commit changes (`status` to check status, `add` to stage, `commit` to save); 4. Version management (`log` to view history, `reset` to roll back); 5. Branch operations (`checkout - b` to create a branch, `merge` to combine branches); 6. Remote repository operations (`clone`, `push`, `pull`). The core principles are "timely commits, branch management, and version rollback", with a key command chain: `init→add→commit→log/reset→branch→push/pull`. Basic operations can be mastered in 30 minutes. For common issues like modifying commit messages, use `--amend`.

This article introduces Git repository initialization and basic configuration. A Git repository is a special folder that records code changes. Initialization installs the Git monitoring system for it using `git init`, generating a hidden `.git` folder. The initialization steps are: open the terminal/command line, navigate to the project folder, and execute `git init`. For basic configuration, set the user identity (global effect): `git config --global user.name "Your Name"` and `git config --global user.email "your@email.com"`. An optional default editor can be configured (e.g., `notepad` for Windows). View configurations with `git config --list`. After initialization, files can be staged with `git add` and committed with `git commit -m "Commit message"`. Notes include: protecting the `.git` folder, distinguishing between global (`--global`) and local (`--local`) configurations, and using `git clone` (not `init`) to clone others' repositories. Following the above steps completes Git repository initialization and basic operations.
