Git for Beginners: Complete Process from Repository Creation to Project Deployment

This article systematically introduces the basic usage of Git, covering core concepts and operation processes. Git is a version control system that can record file modifications, prevent conflicts in collaboration, and manage branches, such as for paper backtracking or team parallel development. Installation methods include Windows (official website), Mac (Homebrew), and Linux (apt/yum). To configure identity, use `git config --global` to set the name and email. A local repository is created with `git init`, followed by staging with `git add` and committing with `git commit`. `git status` and `git log` can be used to check the status and history. For branch management, use `branch` to create, `checkout` to switch, and `merge` to combine branches, with conflicts resolved manually when necessary. Remote repositories (e.g., GitHub/Gitee) are associated using `remote add`, and synchronization is achieved with `push` and `pull`. During deployment, the code is pulled, built (e.g., `npm run build`), and then deployed using Nginx or Node.js. Commands like `init`, `add`, `commit`, `merge`, and `push` are essential to master. The core workflow is "local repository → branch → remote synchronization → deployment," and proficiency can be achieved through practice.
