Git is a Source Code Management (SCM) tool. It keeps track of changes to your code and offers many powerful commands to collaboratively develop software.
Git supports a variety of features - from simple management commands to complex remote repositories. It is also home to a variety of good practices, such as semantic commits.
The tool is commonly used in a shell, but there are UI tools such as
- Git Tower for MacOS
- Git Kraken for Linux, MacOS & Windows
Git repositories
Also known as remote repositories, these SCM stores act as hubs to develop on software. Working on them is highly individual, but there are a few common traits most repositories share
Git Hooks
See Git - Husky.js
Hooks execute a given action after an event emitted by git. The files are located in the ./hooks folder.
Note
You must make the file executable with
chmod +x <filename>
