The Essential Commands
Five commands that cover 90% of Git usage
You don't need to memorize 50 Git commands. These five cover almost everything:
**1. git clone [url]** Copy a repo from GitHub to your computer → "I want to work on this project"
**2. git add .** Stage all your changes for commit → "These are the changes I want to save"
**3. git commit -m "message"** Save your staged changes with a description → "Save this snapshot with this note"
**4. git push** Send your commits to GitHub → "Upload my changes to the cloud"
**5. git pull** Get the latest changes from GitHub → "Download any updates I don't have"
That's it for daily work!
**Pro tip:** Claude Code can run these commands for you. Just say "commit my changes and push to GitHub."
