Git is a source control management tool that allows developers to work collaboratively on projects. It tracks changes to code by storing snapshots of files and allows developers to focus on specific features by working on branches. The document provides steps to install git, set it up locally, and explains basic commands like add, commit, status, branch and merge. It also discusses strategies for using git like committing often, using descriptive messages, and working on separate branches from the stable master branch.

- 26. BRANCHING
- 27. Branching encourages a few things Frictionless Context Switching Feature Based Workflow Disposable Experimentation http://git-scm.com/about
- 29. git branch name Create new branch to work from
- 30. git checkout branchname Sets working tree to branchname
- 32. git checkout –b branchname Create and checkout into branchname
- 35. git merge branchname Merges committed changes made in branchname with current branch
- 36. Repositories!
- 38. Let’s add a remote repository
- 40. Two basic actions git push git pull Pushes changes to Pulls changes from remote repo remote repo
- 41. Let’s integrate with WordPress!
- 43. git clone Use git clone to duplicate a remote repository locally
- 45. Submodules! Submodules allow you to keep separate sections of your code under source control ( repos within repos )
- 46. git submodule add repository path/to/location Adds submodule located at repository to path/to/location within project
- 48. .gitignore Use .gitignore to prevent files from being added to the repo
- 52. Use descriptive commit messages!
- 53. Master branch is stable ONLY. Always develop on a separate branch
- 54. Branch naming: initials/feature-name ns/some-cool-feature
- 55. Working with multiple Devs
