Version Control Flashcards For Beginner Frontend Developers

Cloning is the process of creating a local copy of a repository. It is often used for development and testing. Git command: git clone

A commit is a saved snapshot of changes to code or files in a repository. It is used to track the history of changes and to collaborate with other developers.

A branch is a parallel version of a repository that allows developers to work on changes without affecting the main codebase. It is often used for testing and experimental features. Git command: git branch

Pushing is the process of uploading changes to a remote repository. It allows developers to collaborate and share code changes. Git command: git push

A remote is a version of a repository that is hosted on a server or cloud platform. It allows developers to collaborate and share code changes. Git command: git remote

Ignoring is the process of excluding files or directories from version control. It is often used for files that do not need to be tracked. Git command: git ignore

Log is the process of viewing the history of changes to a repository. It allows developers to track changes and collaborate with others. Git command: git log

Checkout is the process of switching to a different branch or commit in a repository. Git command: git checkout

Squashing is the process of combining multiple commits into a single commit. It is often used to clean up commit history. Git command: git rebase -i

Stashing is the process of saving changes that are not ready to be committed. It allows developers to switch branches or commits without losing changes. Git command: git stash

A fork is a copy of a repository that allows developers to make changes without affecting the original codebase. It is often used for open source projects. Git command: git fork

A pull request is a request for changes to be merged into a codebase. It allows developers to review and collaborate on code changes before they are merged. Git command: git pull-request

Merging is the process of combining changes from one branch into another branch. It allows developers to incorporate changes and collaborate with others. Git command: git merge

Cherry-picking is the process of selecting specific commits and applying them to a different branch. It allows developers to incorporate changes without merging entire branches. Git command: git cherry-pick

Git is a distributed version control system that is widely used in software development. It allows developers to track changes to code, collaborate with others, and manage code repositories.

Version control is a system that tracks changes to files over time. It allows developers to collaborate and manage changes to code in a controlled way.

Pulling is the process of downloading changes from a remote repository. It allows developers to collaborate and incorporate changes. Git command: git pull

A tag is a label that is assigned to a specific commit in a repository. It is often used to mark important milestones or releases. Git command: git tag

A conflict occurs when two or more developers make changes to the same code or file. It must be resolved before changes can be merged. Git command: git merge --abort

Blame is the process of identifying who made changes to a specific line of code or file. It is often used for debugging and collaboration. Git command: git blame

Reverting is the process of undoing a commit or changes to code. It is often used to fix issues or errors. Git command: git revert

A repository is a central location where code and other files are stored for version control.
