$git status	We use git status to simply check out changes that we have made from the last commit.
$git add index.html	Before we commit any changes to be tracked by git, we add the file. It is called staging
$git add --all	This command is used for staging more than one file. Simply it stages all the tracked and untracked, modified files. The shorthand command for git add --all is git add -A
$git rm error.html	By this command git add --all we add all the files in the staging area for commiting. what we have to do if we want all the files to be stages except error.html or any other file. In that case we simply remove that file to be staged by git rm command means removal preceding file name that we want to remove from staging.
$git log	git log command is used to display all the commit's history of a project. It show the metadata about every commit, like * Hash value * Author * Date * commited message.
$git log -p	the flag "-p" following by git log command is used to display the detailed changes that happened in each commit.
$git branch contact-form	Branching is one of the most powerful feature of git. To create new branch we simply use the git branch command preceded by the branch name. for example in this case git branch contact-form. here we create a new branch of name "contact-form".
$git branch	git branch commands list all the branches.
$git branch -v	the "-v" flag provides us with a little more information than usual along listing branches.
$git stash	We do not use staging and commiting for temporary file saving or any half-done work. For these temporarily changes git has an special feature git stash.
$git stash list	To get overview at any stage of our current Stashes, the git stash list command is used.
$git checkout master	We switch anytime form one brach to another branch. We are working now at branch contact-form. Now want to switch to out main master branch. So, we have a git command git checkout and then name the branch-name into which you want to go.
$git merge contact-form	Now We have switched to our main master branch. we wanna merge our work done in contact-form branch into master branch. We have a command for this task git merge contact-form.
$git remote add URL	By this command we can add a github repository to pull and push remotely. We simply write the command git remote add succeeded by the URL name (by naming convention it is origin but you can set any name, and the enter url. for example $ git remote add origin https://github.com/idreesishaq/git.git

The command git push requires two thing, one is the "the remote repostiory's url name" that we already have been set, and the second the "branch name" (master branch). for example: git push origin master
$git fetch origin
$git log origin/master
