Git Commands

git init

*This command initializes a new Git repository in the current directory.
*It sets up the necessary files and directories for Git to track changes and manage version control.

git add .

* The "git add" command is used to prepare changes for the next commit.
The "git add ." command is used to add all files and directories in the current directory to the staging area, preparing them for the next commit.

git commit -m "first commit":

*When you run the git commit command, it takes all the changes you have added to the staging area and creates a commit. A commit is like a snapshot of your project at a specific point in time.
*To make it easier for others (and yourself) to understand what the commit is about, you can use the "-m" option followed by a message enclosed in quotes. This message should describe the changes you have made clearly and concisely.
In your case, the commit message is "first commit," which indicates that this is the initial commit capturing the first set of changes you made to your project.

git branch -M main:

*This command renames the current branch to main.
*It's commonly used to update the default branch name from master to main in Git repositories.

git remote add origin https://github.com/hacky-tosh/newRepo.git:

*The git remote add command adds a remote repository to your local Git repository.
*origin is the name given to the remote repository, and https://github.com/hacky-tosh/newRepo.git is the URL of the remote repository you want to connect to.

git push -u origin main:

* The git push command is used to upload local commits to a remote repository.
* -u origin main specifies the remote repository (origin) and the branch (main) to which you want to push the commits.



The sequence of these commands sets up a new Git repository, adds and commits the changes made to the files, renames the branch, adds a remote repository, and pushes the commits to the remote repository.
