Many more git commands exist but this list is all you should need. If you need to perform a different task or need help in git, ask me for assist­ance. Any other commands could be dangerous and potent­ially cause unnece­ssary headache to revert.

Stage all changed files for commit
git commit -m "I made this change in the code""
An inform­ative message that explains what was changed
git push origin <branch name>
