Git Cheat Sheet Education

Git is a free and open source distributed version control system. It allows users to install graphical user interfaces for day-to-day interactions and to initialize and clone repositories. Users can configure identity settings, inspect and compare commits and file differences, isolate work in branches, and share and update code between local and remote repositories. Ignoring patterns prevents unintended staging of files, and history can be rewritten through rebasing or resetting commits.
