Fork

StarStarStarStar

Forking is creating a personal copy of someone else's repository. This allows you to freely experiment with changes without affecting the original. Later, you can submit a pull request to contribute your changes back.

Commit

StarStarStarStar

A commit in version control is a snapshot of the codebase at a certain point in time. It represents a set of changes or an addition to the repository and includes a message describing the changes.

StarStarStarStar

Clone

StarStarStarStar

Cloning is the process of creating a local copy of a remote repository. This includes all of the files, history, and branches.

Pull Request (PR)

StarStarStarStar

A pull request is a method for developers to notify team members that they have completed a feature or fix. It is also a request for their code to be reviewed and then merged into another branch, typically the main branch.

Checkout

StarStarStarStar

In version control, checking out refers to switching between different branches or specific commits within a repository. This allows a developer to navigate through the various stages and parallel development within a project.

Tag

StarStarStarStar

Tags are used in version control to mark specific points in repository history as important. This is often used for marking release points (v1.0, v2.1, etc.).

Version Control Systems (VCS)

StarStarStarStar

Version Control Systems are tools used to track changes in software development, allowing multiple team members to work simultaneously on a codebase, keep a history of all changes, and facilitate collaboration. They allow developers to revert to previous versions if needed.

Merge

StarStarStarStar

Merging is the process of integrating changes from one branch into another. It can involve combining the content of different files and resolving conflicts if the same parts of the same files were modified differently.

StarStarStarStar

Branch

StarStarStarStar

A branch in version control is a separate line of development created from the main codebase. It allows for independent work that can be merged back into the main line later without affecting immediate project stability.

StarStarStarStar

Push

StarStarStarStar

Pushing is the process of uploading local repository changes to a remote repository. This updates the remote branch with local commits.
