Question	Answer
What is Git?	Git is a local version control and revision management system. It allows users to track changes to projects as well as track history and different versions (branches).
git add <filepath>	Add file contents to the index, staging them for commit. Individual files and entire directories can be added. Image: Git Commit (binary/octet-stream)
git clone <url>	Clones a (usually remote) repository, creating a new directory with the same name. Image: Git Clone (binary/octet-stream)
git commit -m "<message>"	Record changes to the repository. Files are first staged and usually a descriptive commit message is included. Image: Git Commit (binary/octet-stream)
git checkout <args>	Switch branches or restore working tree files. If no path is given, git checkout will update HEAD to set the specified branch as the current branch. Image: Git Checkout (binary/octet-stream)
git branch <args>	Lists, creates, or deletes git branches. Image: Git Checkout (binary/octet-stream)
git diff <filepath>	Show changes between the working tree and index, changes between two files on disc, or changes between two working trees. Image: Git Diff (binary/octet-stream)
git fetch <args>	Fetch refs from one or more repositories. Unlike "git pull", remote changes will not be incorporated and HEAD will not be updated. Image: Git Fetch (binary/octet-stream)
git <command> --help	Prints the synopsis and a list of the most commonly used commands for the given operation.
git init	Create an empty Git repository or reinitialize an existing one.
git pull	Incorporates changes from a remote repo. into the current branch. Shorthand for git fetch followed by git merge FETCH_HEAD. Image: Git Fetch (binary/octet-stream)
git status	Show the working tree status. This is commonly done before a commit to check which files are staged to be committed. Image: Git Status (binary/octet-stream)
git push	Updates remote refs using local refs. Essentially "pushes" committed changes from local repository to the remote repo. Image: Git Push (binary/octet-stream)
git merge <args>	Incorporates changes from named commits into the current branch. This is the second sub-process of "git pull". Image: Git Merge (binary/octet-stream)
git log	Show the commit logs, with author, date/time, and commit ID's for all previous commits. Image: Git Log (binary/octet-stream)
git remote	Manage a set of tracked repositories. Useful for updating the remote repository URL (git remote set-url origin <url>). Image: Git Remote (binary/octet-stream)
man git	Shows the git manual (verbose) and list of all git commands with descriptions. Further documentation is also available at: https://git-scm.com/docs/git There are also some GREAT tutorials at: https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials
