To add a submodule to a repository, use `git submodule add https://github.com/user/submodule-repo.git`, which is the typical format for specifying the URL of the submodule repository. This creates a new folder for the submodule and checks it out at the specified revision. To update an existing submodule to its latest commit, run `git submodule update`. If you want to pull in changes from upstream while keeping your submodule's history intact, use `git submodule sync` followed by `git submodule update`. |

# Branch Naming |
||||
# Branch Naming |
||||
|
||||
A well-defined branch naming convention is essential for maintaining a clean and organized Git workflow. It's recommended to use descriptive and meaningful names that clearly indicate the purpose of each branch. For example, using prefixes like `feature/`, `fix/`, or `docs/` can help identify whether a branch is related to new feature development, bug fixes, or documentation updates. Additionally, including the issue or task ID (e.g., `issue/123`) can provide context and make it easier for team members to find relevant information. By following a consistent naming convention, you can improve collaboration, reduce confusion, and increase the overall efficiency of your Git workflow. |

GitHub Actions provides a caching feature that allows you to store and reuse dependencies between workflows, reducing the time it takes to run your actions. By caching dependencies, you can: |
||||
- Reuse compiled code |
||||
- Store database connections |
||||
- Reduce network traffic |
||||
|

In GitHub, collaborators and members refer to individuals who contribute to or have access to your repository. Collaborators are users who have been granted permission to contribute code, make changes, and push updates to your repository, whereas members are the owners of a repository, including organization owners who have full control over their team's repositories. Members can be either individual collaborators or part of an organization team, with varying levels of access and permissions based on their role within the team. |

# Detached HEAD |
||||
# Detached HEAD |
||||
|
||||
In Git, a detached head occurs when you check out a commit directly using its hash instead of a branch name. This leaves your repository's HEAD pointer pointing directly at that commit, rather than being linked to a specific branch. To view the history and changes made in a detached head, use `git log` or `git show`. If you want to see the differences between the current detached head and another branch, use `git diff <branch>`. A detached head can be a useful temporary state for exploring specific commits or features, but it's essential to merge those changes back into a branch before sharing them with others. |

A well-maintained repository should include documentation that helps others understand the project, its context, and how to contribute to it. This is essential for fostering a community around your project and making it easier for newcomers to join in. |
||||
|
||||
Here are some key sections of documentation that you should consider including in each repository: |
||||
|
||||
- README.md: A brief introduction to the project, explaining what it's about, why it exists, and how to get started. |
||||
- CONTRIBUTING.md: Guidelines on how others can contribute to the project, including steps for reporting issues, submitting pull requests, or suggesting new features. |
||||
- LICENSE: Information about the license under which the repository is released, ensuring users understand their rights and responsibilities when using your code. |
||||
- CHANGELOG: A history of changes made to the project over time, highlighting significant updates, bug fixes, or feature additions. |
||||

# Fetch without Merge |

|
||||
Running `git fetch` retrieves changes from a remote repository into your local clone, but does not automatically merge any of these changes into your local working directory. This is different from `git pull`, which both fetches and merges remote changes. By using fetch without merge, you can ensure that your local clone is up-to-date with the latest information from the remote repository, while leaving your working directory unchanged. You can then choose to apply these changes by using merge or rebase. This approach helps maintain a clean and consistent local state, making it easier to manage and commit changes. |

Git attributes are settings stored in the .gitattributes file, controlling how Git handles files in your repository. They can influence filtering (e.g., ignoring specific files), conversion (formatting or transforming files during Git operations), and formatting (applying consistent styles). These settings can be applied to specific file types (like *.txt) or filter files based on content patterns. Attributes also define smudge patterns (highlighting differences) and ignore patterns, helping maintain a clean repository by automatically applying intended settings for certain file types. |

Git Bisect is an interactive tool used to identify which commit in your project's history introduced a bug or regression. You start by identifying two commits: one where the issue isn't present (the "good" commit) and another where it is (the "bad" commit). Then, run `git bisect start`, followed by `git bisect good` for the good commit and `git bisect bad` for the bad commit. Git Bisect will guide you through a binary search process, asking you to test the midpoint of your current range until it identifies the exact commit that introduced the bug or regression. |

Git Large File Storage (LFS) is an extension that helps manage large files by tracking metadata, not storing entire files. It allows storing and tracking binary assets like images, videos, audio files separately from your regular Git repository. By storing only metadata in your Git repository, you improve clone and push times, reducing storage usage. This approach is particularly useful for media repositories, large dataset storage, and binary asset management in game development. Note that Git LFS requires a separate server or storage system to store actual file content. |

# Git Remotes |

In Git, a remote is a reference to a repository that exists on another server or system. Remotes allow you to access and interact with a copy of your repository that is stored elsewhere, making it possible to collaborate with others, share your work, and maintain multiple copies of your repository for backup and disaster recovery purposes. When you add a remote to your local repository, Git creates a reference to the remote repository, enabling you to push changes from your local repository to the remote one, pull changes from the remote to your local one, or fetch changes from the remote without updating your local copy. This enables distributed development and helps maintain a centralized version of your project's history, making it easier to track changes, manage conflicts, and ensure that everyone has access to the most up-to-date code. |

Git revert is a command that allows you to "undo" or revert specific commits in your Git repository. It creates a new commit that reverses the changes made by the specified commit(s), effectively rolling back your code to a previous state. |
||||
|
||||
Here are some key things to know about `git revert`: |
||||
|
||||
- Reverts changes, not moves HEAD: Unlike `git reset`, which can move your current branch's head to a different point in history, `git revert` creates new commits that reverse the changes made by specific commit(s). |
||||
- Creates new commits: Each time you use `git revert`, it creates a new commit that undoes the specified change. This means your Git history will still contain all previous commits. |
||||
- Can be used with multiple commits: If you want to revert multiple commits, simply specify their hashes or references (e.g., branch names) separated by commas. |

Git stash allows you to temporarily save your changes, or "stashes", when they're not yet ready for commit. This feature is useful when you need to work on multiple tasks, and want to switch between them without committing changes that are not complete. By using `git stash`, you can quickly stash uncommitted changes, reset the working directory to a clean state, and then apply the stashed changes later when they're ready for commit. This helps avoid cluttering the commit history with incomplete work, and allows you to maintain a clean and organized repository by separating your progress on different tasks. |

To apply a stash in Git, you can use the following commands: |
||||
|
||||
- `git stash apply`: This command applies the topmost stash (the most recent one) by default. It will merge the stashed changes into your current working directory. |
||||
- `git stash apply <stash_name>`: If you want to specify a particular stash, you can use its name instead of default. For example, if you've stored multiple stashes and want to apply an earlier one, you can use <stash_name>. |
||||
- `git stash pop`: This command is similar to apply, but it also automatically deletes the applied stash from the stash list. If you need more control over which stash to apply, using pop might be a better option. |

# Git vs Other VCS |

# Git vs Other VCS |
||||
|
||||
Git has become the de facto standard for source control in software development, but it's not the only version control system (VCS) available. Here are some key differences between Git and other popular VCS: |
||||
|
||||
- Mercurial: Mercurial is a distributed VCS that uses a similar architecture to Git. However, it has a more centralized approach and doesn't use hashes for tracking changes. |
||||
- Subversion: Subversion is a centralized VCS that's often compared to Git. While both systems support branching and merging, Subversion requires a central server to manage the repository. |
||||
- Perforce: Perforce is a commercial VCS that's designed for large-scale development projects. It uses a centralized approach and has features like build automation and issue tracking. |
||||
- CVS: CVS is an older version control system that's still in use today. However, it lacks many modern features and is often considered outdated. |

A Git worktree allows you to create multiple working directories for a single repository, each with its own checkout and index. Unlike a regular checkout, which creates a new working directory for a specific branch and updates your IDE's configuration settings, a Git worktree does not require you to switch between branches using git checkout. This means you can have multiple branches checked out at the same time without affecting each other or requiring changes to your IDE configurations. By creating a separate worktree for each branch, you can stage changes independently and maintain distinct working directories without impacting the main repository or its working directory. |

To view the changes you've staged with `git add`, but not yet committed, use `git diff --cached`. This command compares the staged files against their original versions in the repository. It's a quick way to review what you're about to commit before finalizing it. |

For changes that are not yet staged with `git add`, such as untracked new files or modified existing ones, use `git diff --unified`. This command compares your working directory against the latest committed version of each file. It's a useful tool for reviewing any local modifications before deciding whether to stage them for future commits. |
