Using Git Locally

Using Git Locally

In this lesson, we'll show Git in action!

Git jargon #

Git uses very particular vocabulary, and familiarity with it will make it easier for you to communicate with your team members and the online community. Here are some common terms,

Repository #

To put it simply, a project is a repository. Git repositories or ‘repos’ contain all of the code and version history of a certain project.

Working directory #

The working directory is the folder on your local computer where your project exists. Git would track any changes made within that folder.

Commit #

Git does not save or store any changes made to the files within your working directory until you ‘commit’ it. Commits save the changes you made to Git itself.
