A practical introduction to git basic concepts.

Git is a DVCS: Distributed Version Control System.

Basically, with git you and your team can cooperate to create, modify, extend, maintain code working in parallel on the same codebase, without worrying about “breaking” the code.

When you want to develop a project using git you create a repository — a directory containing your project’s code and a .git subdirectory used by git itself to keep track of everything.

Note: repositories are often called repo for brevity.

The command to initialize a folder is:

git init 

to initialize the current folder, or

git init <directory_name>
