🌲 Git Basics

Git is a distributed version control system for tracking changes in source code during software development.

💡 Quick Tip:

Mastering this concept will significantly boost your Python data science skills!

💻 Code Example:

# ── Git Complete Workflow Reference ──────────────────────────

# 1. Initial setup (one-time)
git config --global user.name  "santoshtvk"
git config --global user.email "tvk@pynfinity.com"

# 2. Initialize & first commit
git init pynfinity-project
cd pynfinity-project
echo "# Pynfinity" > README.md
git add README.md
git commit -m "chore: initial commit — scaffold pynfinity project"

# 3. Feature branch workflow
git checkout -b feature/pebbles-seo    # Create & switch
git add -A                             # Stage everything
git commit -m "feat: add 27 SEO pebble blog posts"
git push origin feature/pebbles-seo

# 4. Merging & cleanup
git checkout main
git merge --no-ff feature/pebbles-seo  # Preserve merge commit
git branch -d feature/pebbles-seo       # Delete local branch

# 5. .gitignore essentials
cat >> .gitignore << EOF
.env
__pycache__/
*.pyc
.venv/
*.db
EOF

# 6. Undo & recover
git restore --staged app.py       # Unstage a file
git restore app.py                # Discard local changes
git revert HEAD                   # Safe undo (creates new commit)

# 7. Stash (save work in progress)
git stash push -m "wip: half-done pebble migration"
git stash list
git stash pop                      # Restore most recent stash

# 8. Log & diff
git log --oneline --graph --decorate -10
git diff HEAD~1 HEAD               # Changes in last commit

Keep exploring and happy coding! 💻
