Git Second Commit - Shell-Bash

Are you tired of losing your code changes every time you accidentally close your terminal window? Or do you want to keep track of your code changes and collaborate with other developers on a project? Look no further than Git!

Introduction

Git is a popular version control tool that allows developers to track changes to their code, collaborate with others, and roll back to earlier versions if necessary. In this tutorial, we will cover how to make your second commit using the shell and Bash.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, you should have Git installed on your machine. If you do not have Git installed, you can download it from the official website: https://git-scm.com/downloads

You should also have a basic understanding of how to navigate and use the command line interface (CLI) on your operating system.

Shell and Bash

Shell and Bash are command line interpreters that allow you to interact with your operating system using text commands. We will be using these tools to execute Git commands in this tutorial.

Making Your Second Commit

1. Open your terminal or command prompt. Navigate to the directory where your Git repository is located.

2. Check the status of your repository by running the following command:

git status

This will show you which files have been modified, added, or deleted since your last commit.

3. Add the changes you want to include in your commit by running the following command:

git add <file>

Replace <file> with the name of the file you want to add. You can also use . to add all changes.

4. Verify that the changes have been added by running git status again.

5. Commit your changes by running the following command:

git commit -m "<commit message>"

Replace <commit message> with a brief description of the changes you made. This will help you and other developers understand what changes were made in this commit.

6. Verify that your changes have been committed by running git log. This will show you a list of all commits made to the repository, including the most recent one.

Congratulations, you have successfully made your second commit using Git and Bash!
