ABSTRACT

This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. It transitions toward understanding practical uses of Git, particularly how it is to be installed, set up, as well as the tips and troubleshooting techniques bound to come in handy while making use of the Version Control System (VCS) in our workspaces. The book explains how the users could install Git on Linux through a binary installer, how the “official Git website is also the go-to place for installing Git on Windows. It explains that “repositories in Git refer to a collection of files that contain the different versions of the same project”. The book learns that “a branch is supposed to be a copy of a code line, which is to be managed by the VCS as well as how “branches allow for parallel work, along with a well-demarcated separation of work-in-progress code with the stable as well as tried-and-tested code”.
