Other points

• Scan chapter 2 of [1]
  • git status is a useful command.
  • git add <file> to stage a change (modified file) or track a new file
  • git checkout <file> to unmodify a modified file
  • For updating the clone, use git pull rather than git fetch. The first one will download and merge, but the second one only downloads (changes unstaged).
• Scan chapter 1 of the same book
  • Snapshots not diffs
  • Three states that files can reside in: 1) modified; 2)staged; 3)committed. Three main sections of a Git project: 1) working directory; 2) staging area; 3) git directory.
  • استیچ به معنی سکو است، سکویی برای رسیدن به جای بهتر/بهشت (گیت دیرکتوری)، سکویی که اعضایش دستچین شده‌اند. ورکینگ دیرکتوری پایین‌ترین سطح و محلی است که همه‌جور کار (از کثیف تا تمیز) باید انجام شود تا در نهایت تمیزها به استیج بروند و شاید به بهشت (گیت دیرکتوری) رسیدند!
  • "check out" in this context most probably means "prove to be true or correct" [example: "his claims simply did not check out"], but I'm not sure!
• commit = check in
• checkout [2]
