# These configurations are used for making contributions and pull requests

# Create a directory (folder)
mkdir -p 'path'

# Change into the created directory
cd 'path'

# Initialize the directory as a Git repository
git init  # (Leave it empty or provide a path; if empty, it uses the current directory)

# Add the URL of the Git repository you want to contribute to
git remote add origin "URL"

# Clone the repository from the online Git repository to your local system
git clone "URL"

# Create a text file (other extensions can be used) named 'readme'
echo 'readme' > or >> readme.txt  #(> to add content/overwrite >> to add content to existing content)

# Show the status of files in the directory (staged/unstaged/untracked)
git status

# Commit changes with a commit message
git commit -m "Commit message"

# Add files to the staging area (use '.' to add all files)
git add <filename> or .

#to remove files
git rm --cached <path> (to remove and added repository)

# Create a new branch from the main branch
git checkout -b branchname


# Push changes to a specific branch (useful when contributing to another repository)
git push -u origin branchname

# Push changes to the main branch of your own repository
git push origin master/main

# Move one directory back in the path

#better Git Notes:-
git is a command line tool which helps you keep track of changes to code.
Can synchroniz code between different people.
It helps us to creat a branch and test your code without interfearing with your original code.
It allows us to revert back to older version.

git commands:-


git clone <url>    #take a repository and download it to our system
git add  <filename> or . (for all the files in the directory)   
git commit -m "message"  #takes a snapshot of all the added files in the downloaded repository  (cahnges made till now are only affecting the local code/file.folder)
git status (tells what currenlty is going on in the repository)
git push (take all of the changes and push it to github)

## git commit -am "commits all of the file that are changed"

git pull    #takes all the changes that happend in github an copies the latest changes to the system


#merge Conflicts#
If someone on make a commit changing a line on there system and you do the same by changing something on that line on your system, when you pull/push the code it will create a merge conflict. git work by adding and removing line from the code, when 1 single line simultaneouly get changed on 2 place it causes a conflict.


git log  (describes each of the commits)

git reset     #reset the current state of repository to an older version
 ## git reset --hard <commithash>
 ## git reset --hard origin/master


#branching
git branch  (name of current branch)
git checkout -b style (create new branch 'style')
git checkout style (switch)

merging changes made in different branches

git merge style  (merges style to main/master)
