Pre Course Git Fu

Terms for learning Git

• Repository - a place where software is stored
• Git - Version Control - records changes to a file(s) so that you can recall version later
• Clone - target an existing repository and copy it
• Fork - copy of a repository
• History - collection of all the different commits
• Staging - make changes to the working directory, and when you decide you wanna interact with version control, it allows you to record changes in small commits
• Remote - versions of your project that are hosted on the Internet or network somewhere
• Commit - Record changes to the repository
• Push - Update remote refs along with associated objects
