GitHub is a cloud platform that hosts Git repositories, so your work is backed up and easy to share.

Install and Configure Git<\/h2>\n<p>Download Git from git-scm.com, then tell it who you are so your commits are labeled correctly:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><code>git config --global user.name \"Your Name\"<\/code><\/li>\n<li><code>git config --global user.email \"you@example.com\"<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>2. Create a Repository and Commit<\/h2>\n<p>Inside your project folder, run <code>git init<\/code> to start tracking files. Then save a snapshot:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><code>git add .<\/code> \u2014 stage all your changes<\/li>\n<li><code>git commit -m \"First commit\"<\/code> \u2014 record the snapshot<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>3. Push Your Code to GitHub<\/h2>\n<p>Create an empty repository on GitHub, then connect your local folder to it:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><code>git remote add origin https:\/\/github.com\/user\/repo.git<\/code><\/li>\n<li><code>git push -u origin main<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>4. Work with Branches and Pull Requests<\/h2>\n<p>Never code directly on <code>main<\/code> for team projects. Create a branch with <code>git checkout -b feature<\/code>, push it, then open a Pull Request on GitHub so others can review your work before it merges.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>Master four commands first \u2014 <code>add<\/code>, <code>commit<\/code>, <code>push<\/code>, and <code>pull<\/code>. Everything else in Git becomes much easier once those feel natural.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Use Git and GitHub: A Beginner&#8217;s Tutorial Git is a version control system that records every change you make to your code.
