Git And DevOps Basics

Git helps you remember what changed and why. Git platforms help people collaborate around those changes.

Core concepts

• A repository stores project history.
• A commit records a focused change.
• A branch gives work a place to happen before merging.
• A pull request invites review and discussion.
• CI runs checks so mistakes are easier to catch.
• Deployment publishes the result somewhere users can reach.

Good early habits

Write commit messages that explain the change. Keep secrets out of Git. Use .env files locally and platform secret stores in production.
