Cheatsheet and best practices for Git
Git is distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency.
Git is a primary tool for both developers and cloud engineers who are moving to infrastructure as code. Git is the core of a modern version control software, which keeps track of every modification to the code in a special kind of database. If (dare I say “when”) a mistake is made, you can turn back the clock and compare earlier versions of the code to help fix the mistake while minimizing disruption to all team members.
You do not need to have your repository set up to get started with Git. Although you will want to set one up to save your changes and to manage your deployments. Learn more about how to set up your repositories in the previous post.
In this article, you will find a list of resources to use to learn how to get started with Git. The article provides some sample command in a pattern you will use for your code or your infrastructure as a code. There are also references on how to get started learning Git.
Or .. if you prefer you can use the Git Cheatsheet from GitHub. The contribution made in this blog post is to show you common patterns you will use daily.
