    used Git commands for easy reference.

3. ### What is GitHub?

GitHub is a web-based platform used for version control and collaboration on projects primarily based on Git. It offers a range of features including source code management (version control), issue tracking, pull
   requests, code review, and project management tools.

GitHub is widely used by developers and teams for
   
   - managing and sharing code,
   - collaborating on projects, and
   - contributing to open-source software.

4. ### What is Git Cheat Sheet?

**SETUP**

Configuring user information used across all local repositories
   
       '''bash

# set a name that is identifiable for credit when review version history
       git config --global user.name “[firstname lastname]”
   
     
       # set an email address that will be associated with each history marker
       git config --global user.email “[valid-email]”

# set automatic command line coloring for Git for easy reviewing
       git config --global color.ui auto

'''

**INIT**

Configuring user information, initializing and cloning repositories

'''bash

# initialize an existing directory as a Git repository
       git init

# retrieve an entire repository from a hosted location via URL
       git clone [url]

'''

**STAGE & SNAPSHOT**

Working with snapshots and the Git staging area

'''bash

# show modified files in working directory, staged for your next commit
       git status

# add a file as it looks now to your next commit (stage)
       git add [file]

# unstage a file while retaining the changes in working directory
       git reset [file]

# diff of what is changed but not staged
       git diff

# diff of what is staged but not yet committed
       git diff --staged

# commit your staged content as a new commit snapshot
       git commit -m “[descriptive message]”

'''

**BRANCH & MERGE**

Isolating work in branches, changing context, and integrating changes

'''bash

# list your branches. a * will appear next to the currently active branch
       git branch

# create a new branch at the current commit
       git branch [branch-name]

# switch to another branch and check it out into your working directory
       git checkout

# merge the specified branch’s history into the current one
       git merge [branch]

# show all commits in the current branch’s history
       git log

'''

**INSPECT & COMPARE**

Examining logs, diffs and object information

'''bash

# show the commit history for the currently active branch
       git log

# show the commits on branchA that are not on branchB
       git log branchB..branchA

# show the commits that changed file, even across renames
       git log --follow [file]

# show the diff of what is in branchA that is not in branchB
       git diff branchB...branchA

# show any object in Git in human-readable format
       git show [SHA]

'''

**TRACKING PATH CHANGES**

Versioning file removes and path changes

'''bash

# delete the file from project and stage the removal for commit
       git rm [file]

# change an existing file path and stage the move
       git mv [existing-path] [new-path]

# show all commit logs with indication of any paths that moved
       git log --stat -M

'''

**IGNORING PATTERNS**

Preventing unintentional staging or commiting of files

'''bash

# system wide ignore pattern for all local repositories
       git config --global core.excludesfile [file]

# Save a file with desired patterns as .gitignore with either direct string matches or wildcard globs.
       logs/
       *.notes
       pattern*/

'''

**SHARE & UPDATE**

Retrieving updates from another repository and updating local repos

'''bash

# add a git URL as an alias
       git remote add [alias] [url]

# fetch down all the branches from that Git remote
       git fetch [alias]

# merge a remote branch into your current branch to bring it up to date
       git merge [alias]/[branch]

# Transmit local branch commits to the remote repository branch
       git push [alias] [branch]

# fetch and merge any commits from the tracking remote branch
       git pull

'''

**REWRITE HISTORY**

Rewriting branches, updating commits and clearing history

'''bash

# apply any commits of current branch ahead of specified one
       git rebase [branch]

# clear staging area, rewrite working tree from specified commit
       git reset --hard [commit]

'''

**TEMPORARY COMMITS**

Temporarily store modified, tracked files in order to change branches

'''bash

# Save modified and staged changes
       git stash

# list stack-order of stashed file changes
       git stash list
   
   
       # write working from top of stash stack
       git stash pop

# discard the changes from top of stash stack
       git stash drop
