Summary
The terms Git often sound technical, but most refer to a simple concept. The repository is a place to store the project and its history, the staging area is a commit preparation, and the remote is a copy of the repository on the server. Understanding this vocabulary makes it easy to read Git documentation and commands.
Key points
- Repository: project storage with the entire history of Git
- Index/staging area: preparation layer between work and commit
- Clone: replication of repository from remote to local with its history
- Upstream: repo or branch source where changes are taken
