Git Basics

This practice will help you get comfortable with basic git operations: making changes and publishing them.

We will learn the following git operations:

• add changes to the staging area
• commit changes
• push local commits to publish them to GitHub
• pull changes from the remote repository
• 'branch' create a new branch named "branch-1" and push to Github

Other useful commands to see what is going on the git repository:

• status
• log

• Open the repository on GitHub and make changes to newfile.txt
• Pull the changes to your local repository
• Create a new branch named "branch-1" and push to Github
