Introduction to Git: Installation, Usage, and Branches

In this guide, we will explain how to install and configure Git on an Ubuntu server. We will cover how to install the software two different ways: via the built-in package manager and via source. Each of these approaches has its own benefits depending on your specific needs.

This tutorial contains a number of tips and strategies for using Git more effectively. It will cover how to create a workspace, how to convert an existing project into a workspace, best practices for writing commit messages, and how to push changes to a remote server.

A branch, at its core, is a unique series of code changes with a unique name. Each repository can have one or more branches. This tutorial will teach you how to create two branches (master and develop) and how to merge code from the development stage to production.
