Basic Git commands are your daily toolkit. These are the essential commands every developer should know cold. I spend hours every day using these commands to manage my code and track changes.
Essential Git Commands
Start by checking the version to confirm Git is working, then learn what each command does. `git status` shows you the current state, `git help` provides access to built-in documentation, and different flags expand the functionality.
$ git --version
$ git status
$ git help status
$ git log --oneline
