10. Commit git commit -m “A message” Most frequently used command Takes a snapshot of your code at that point in time Allows you to add a descriptive message Can commit all files or a select few
11. Push git push Only used when working with remote servers Uploads all of your commits to server Will only push commits
12. Pull git pull Only used when working with remote servers Will pull/ download any commits from remote server Attempts to merge two versions
13. Branching Allows you to split your code so you can work on another version separately without it messing up your master branch. Master Branch --> <-- Feature Branch
