Git Commands Every Dev MUST know

Hello and Good Morning
I know I had not been writing lately, but now I am back on my writing spree
Today we are going to see some awesome git commands, that every developer MUST know. Look carefully when I stress on the word MUST. Knowing these commands would definitely make your time easier.
So let's start.

• Initialize local git repository

git init

• Add a particular file to a repository

git add git_commands.md

• Add all uncommitted files to the repository

git add .

• Set Repository

git config --global user.name 'mursalfk'
git config --global user.email '[email protected]'

• Add message to your commit

git commit -m "You can add a message to your commit like this"

• See commit history

git log

• Add remote Name/URL

git remote add origin 'https://github.com/mursalfk/mursalfk.git'

• Push your changes to remote repository

git push origin master

• Clone any repository

git clone 'https://github.com/mursalfk/mursalfk.git'

• Update the current working directory

git pull origin master

Tired already? Come on... It's not that long
