A Git command that temporarily saves changes made to the working directory and index, allowing you to switch branches or work on other tasks without losing progress. The changes are stored in a separate area called the stash.

The Git stash command saves all changes made in the working directory and index, including any tracked files and new files (untracked files).

An area in Git where temporarily saved changes are stored. It's a separate part of the Git data model, unlike the working directory, index, and repository.

Changes made to the files in the working directory but not yet staged in the index.

The staged files in the working directory, ready to be committed to the repository.

After committing, all the changes in the index will be put in the repository. It's known as a version control system (VCS).

The changes made in the index will be stored in a new commit.

A branch in Git allows you to work on different versions of your project simultaneously. By creating a new branch, we create a new working directory, index, and repository that are specifically for that branch, each with its own unique files and a separate commit history.

A list of stashed changes, each with its own unique identifier.

A specific stashed change within a stash list.

A Git command that applies changes from a stash to the working directory and staging area, restoring the saved state.

A Git command that clears all stashed changes.

A Git command that undoes changes to a file in the staging area, leaving changes in the working directory.

A Git command that discards changes in the working directory for a specific file. It does not affect the staging area or repository.

A Git command that discards changes in the working directory for multiple files.

A Git command that discards changes in the working directory for all files.

A fundamental unit of change in Git.

A Git command that moves the HEAD pointer to a different commit.

A Git command that switches branches, updating the working directory to match a commit.

A Git command that undoes changes in the working directory, but not in the staging area or repository.

A Git command that creates a new branch from the current commit.

A Git command that merges changes from one branch into another.

Command in Git that discards all changes made to a file in the working area by copying the content from the latest commit. It's a powerful but potentially destructive operation that should be used with caution.

When a file is modified in the working area and then added to the staging area using git add, the changes are ready to be committed in the next commit.

A unit of change in a file that Git identifies during a commit. It's essentially a set of lines added, removed, or modified within a specific section of the file.

Git command that allows selective staging of changes within a file. It divides the file into hunks and allows users to choose which hunks to add to the staging area.

When using git add -p, this option displays a question mark and shows the other available options. This provides documentation and help for the command.

During git add -p, this option allows you to split the current hunk into smaller hunks.

This option in git add -p adds the current hunk to the staging area, effectively adding the changes to the upcoming commit. An 'y' typically means 'yes' or 'add'.

Option in git add -p that skips the current hunk and moves on to the next one. It's like choosing to not include the changes in the current stage.

A set of commands that allow for granular control over changes in Git. It can operate on files, directories, or even parts of files, making it versatile for selective staging and committing.

The concept that Git is flexible and often allows multiple ways to achieve the same result. This flexibility can be beneficial but also a potential source of complexity for beginners.

A commit is a snapshot of your project at a specific point in time. Each commit contains changes to the project and its files.

The main branch in a Git repository. It usually represents the latest stable version of the project.

A file that holds the history and metadata of all commits in a Git repository. It's the central hub for tracking changes in the project.

Git add ‑‑patch allows you to stage changes in a more granular way, specifically by hunks (sections) rather than whole files.

The index, also known as the staging area, holds the changes you've decided to include in your next commit.

The working directory is where you make changes to your files. It's your active code area.

The repository, also called the HEAD, holds the history of all committed changes.

The git diff command shows the changes between two versions of your code (e.g., working directory versus the index).

The git diff ‑‑cached command shows the changes between the index and the HEAD (current commit).

git restore ‑‑patch allows you to restore changes on a hunk-by-hunk basis.

Git stash ‑‑patch allows you to save your changes temporarily on a per-hunk basis.

git reset ‑‑patch allows you to undo commits on a hunk-by-hunk basis.

Git is not a single program; it's a toolbox of commands that can be combined in various ways to achieve different results.

Git commands are versatile and can be used in different situations. For example, git reset can be used to unstage files, remove commits, and clean up the working directory.

Git doesn't prescribe a specific way to do things; you are free to choose the right tool for your needs.

Git was created by Linus Torvalds, a developer also known for creating Linux, a Unix-like operating system.

Git's design, emphasizing tools and flexibility, makes learning it more challenging than some other version control systems.

Mastering every detail of Git is overkill for most users. Focus on the core concepts and learn specific commands as needed.
