Let's look at what is version controlling?
Version control helps developers to manage their codes or projects. Version controlling is very essential to developing a software product. Developers can track the code as they want. And can duplicate or make a copy of the code easily using branching. It is not affecting the main branch. After doing some changes to the code developer can merge it to the main branch.
GitHub has user-friendly interfaces. So, some people are using GitHub to manage other types of projects.
For an example:- Write a book
There are some features in GitHub … Let's look at,
Easy project management
Increase safety with packages
Effective team management
Improved code writing
Increased code safety
Easy code hosting
Now, we are going to see some GitHub-specific keywords …
Branch
— Copy of the master branch taken at a given point. All the feature developments and bug fixes will be done in a branch. Usually, it is allowed to have multiple branches at the same time.
Commit
— Create a snapshot of the changes being made to the files.
Checkout —
Mark/unlock file for changing.
Merge
— Combining branches to update the master branch.
Repository
— a central location where all the files are being kept. Usually a directory with a set of files.
