Lesson 1. Introduction to git and GitHub

git?
    git is a version control software
    It keep track of code changes
    It helps to collaborate in a project
    It is installed and maintained locally
    It provides Command Line Interface (CLI)
    Released in April 7, 2005
    Developed by Linus Torvalds & Junio C Hamano
github?
    GitHub is a hosting service where we can keep our git    repositiory/folders
    It is maintained on cloud/web
    It provides Graphical User Interface (GUI)
    Founded in 2008

Lesson 2. How to set git environment and configuration

Download and install git on your pc: https://git-scm.com/
check git version: open terminal or cmd then use the command git --version to find out whether git is installed or not. if git is installed it will return a version number of git.

git configuration

check all configuartion options: git config
set global user name and user email for all repository/git folders (if you want to set different username and email for different git repository then remove --global)
    set global user name: git config --global user.name "anisul-islam"
    set global user email: git config --global user.email "anisul2010s@yahoo.co.uk"
list all git configuration:
    list all the configuration: git config --list
    list user name: git config user.name
    list user email: git config user.email
change global username & email
    change global user name: git config --global user.name "PUT_NEW_USER_NAME_HERE"
    change global user email: git config --global user.email "PUT_NEW_USER_EMAIL_HERE"

Lesson 3. creating git repo and adding new files

creating a git folder

ls -a : list all files inside of a directory

 `mkdir DIRECTORY_NAME_HERE
    cd DIRECTORY_NAME_HERE
    git init

    Example:
    mkdir notes
    cd notes
    git init
    ls -a

`
adding new files in git folder

git status : displays the state of the working directory and staging area

`
ls -a
touch fileName.extension
open fileName.extension
git status

Example:
touch day1.txt
open day1.txt
write something inside the file

Git is aware of the file but not added to our git repo

Files in git repo can have 2 states – tracked (git knows and added to git repo), untracked (file in the working directory, but not added to the local repository)

To make the file trackable stagging or adding is required

Lesson 4. how to add files in staging area & remove files

adding files to stagging area:

git add fileName add a file in staging area / index
git add . add all files of directory to stagging area not subdirectory
git add -A add all files of directory and subdirectory to stagging area

`
git rm --cached fileName unstage a file from staging area
git diff - checking the differences of a staged file
git restore fileName - restore the file

Lesson 5. practice-1

Lesson 6. commit & uncommit

git commit -m "message" move the file to local repository from stagging area
git log check the commit history
git reset --soft HEAD^ uncommit the commit in HEAD and move to staging area
git reset HEAD^ uncommit the commit in HEAD and move to unstaging / working area
git reset --hard HEAD^ uncommit the commit in HEAD and delete the commit completely with all the changes

Lesson 7. git HEAD and undo theory

git log --oneline git show git show HEAD^ git show commit-id git checkout commit-id git checkout master

Lesson 8. git HEAD and undo practical

Lesson 9. git revert

Lesson 10. git ignore

create a .gitignore file and add the things you do not want to add in the stagging area
Inside .gitignore we can keep secret files, hidden files, temporary files, log files
secret.txt secret.txt will be ignored
*.txt ignore all files with .txt extension
!main.txt ignore all files with .txt extension without .main.txt
test?.txt ignore all files like test1.txt test2.txt
temp/ all the files in temp folders will be ignored

Lesson 11. how to create github repository and commits

sign in to your github account create a git repo

Lesson 12. README.md

Everything you need to know about README.md is discussed in the video.
6 heading levels: number of hashes define heading levels. check the following examples:
    # heading 1 level text is here
    ## heading 2 level text is here
bold syntax: __text goes here__
italic syntax: _text goes here_
italic syntax: _text goes here_
strikethrouh syntax: ~this is~~
single line code syntax: `` place code inside backticks
multiple line code syntax: ``` place code inside three open and closing backticks
multiple line code syntax: ```html for specific lanaguage use language name when starting; not closing
for more please check the video by clicking the link given above

Lesson 13. Connecting local repo to remote repo

check remote connection: git remote or git remote -v
git remote add name <REMOTE_URL> example: git remote add origin http://...

Lesson 14. push and pull

push a branch git push -u origin branch_name push all branches git push --all pull from a repo: git pull which is equivalent to git fetch + git merge

Lesson 15. branching and merging

Branch is a new and separate branch of master/main repository
create a branch git branch branch_name
List branches git branch
List all remote branches git branch -r
List all local & remote branches git branch -a
move to a branch git checkout branch_name
create and move to a branch git checkout -b branch_name
delete a branch: git branch -d branch_name
merge branches:

`
git checkout branchName
git merge branchName

git log --oneline --all --graph

Lesson 18. branching and merging locally
