4. git add

This command is used to add untracked changes to the repository which are ready to commit.

git add .

5. git commit

This command is used to store the current snapshot of files in the repository with a message assigned to it. git commit is the main command using which we can check the version history. All the files in the current directory are stored in the Git file system.

8. Git Branching

git branch

List all of the branches in your repository. This is synonymous with git branch --list.

git branch

Create a new branch called ＜branch＞. This does not check out the new branch.

git branch <branch>

Delete the specified branch. This is a “safe” operation in that Git prevents you from deleting the branch if it has unmerged changes.

git branch -d <branch>

Rename the current branch to ＜branch＞

git branch -m <branch>

This will merge the specified branch with our master branch.

git merge <branch name>

Switching to other Branches.

git checkout <branch name>

Making a new branch and directly switching to it

 git checkout -b <branch name>

git clone

git clone is used to clone the copied repo onto your local machine

git clone <copied URL>

To specify a specific folder to clone to, add the name of the folder after the repository URL
