What is the git local and remote?

Local: It is the developer's local machine. We install the git tool on our local machine to use the version control system on our computer.

Remote: It is the cloud. GitHub is a good example of a cloud service for remote repository maintenance.

Anyone who has access to the remote can make a copy from the remote to the local.

First, we talk about what is git local.

Git local

Git local has mainly four sections.

• Local repository

• Index

• Workplace

• Stash

Git remote

List remote branches.

Commonly used git commands

• Clone repository onto the local machine

git clone <repository url>

• List which files are staged, unstaged, and untracked

git status

• Staged the file with changes.

git add .  |  git add <file name>

• Commit the staged snapshot, but instead of launching a text editor, use it as the commit message.

git commit -m <'commit messgae'>

• Push the local changes into the remote repository

it push <branch name>

• Join two or more development histories together.

git merge <branch name>

• Show logs with differences each commit introduces.
