GITHUB

GitHub is a widely-used platform for developers to collaborate on code creation, management, storage,
and sharing. Represented by its mascot, Octocat, GitHub offers features that streamline teamwork and
project organization.

Key Features:

• Bug Tracking: Identifies and resolves codebase issues.

• Access Control: Manages user permissions to ensure security and ownership control.

• Task Management: Tracks progress and contributions to optimize team performance.

• Wiki: Centralizes project documentation for better team coordination.

• Code Tracking: Maintains version history, enabling reversion to earlier states when necessary.

GitHub serves as a central hub for storing, sharing, and distributing code across devices, similar to cloud
storage solutions like OneDrive.

GIT

Git is the core technology powering GitHub. It is a Version Control System (VCS) that tracks changes,
supports branching, and allows developers to experiment without impacting the main project.

Key Functions:

• Tracks file changes over time.

• Enables branching for isolated development and testing.

• Configures user settings and repository management through the command prompt.

Examples of Git Commands:

• Check Git version: git --version

• Set username: git config --global user.name

• Set email: git config --global user.email

REPOSITORIES

Repositories, or “repos,” are storage locations for code and associated files, tailored to different use
cases:

• Local Repositories: Stored on a developer’s machine for offline use.

• Online (Remote) Repositories: Hosted on platforms like GitHub for collaboration and version
control.
• Template Repositories: Predefined project structures, limiting changes to the original setup.

• Forked Repositories: Copies of existing repositories, enabling contributions to the original


project.

Synchronization between local and online repositories ensures consistency, typically through commands
like git push (upload) and git pull (download).

ADDITIONAL GITHUB CONCEPTS

1. Committing Changes:

o Save updates with git add . and git commit -m "description".

o Regular commits provide progress records and retrieval checkpoints.

2. Cloning:

o Clone repositories from GitHub to local machines for synchronization.

o Avoids zip downloads, preserving version control.

3. Conflict Resolution:

o Resolve merge conflicts by accepting changes from the current version, incoming
updates, or combining both.

4. Collaboration:

o Add collaborators for private repositories to securely manage access.

o Use issues and code snippets to address team challenges.
