Followed by the advent of distributed version control systems (DVCS), Git naturally enables the usage of a pull-based development model, in which developers can copy the project onto their own repository and then push their changes to the original repository, where the integrators will determine the validity of the pull request. Since its ...
git clone [URL], which clones, or duplicates, a git repository from an external URL. git add [file], which adds a file to git's working directory (files about to be committed). git commit -m [commit message], which commits the files from the current working directory (so they are now part of the repository's history). A .gitignore file may be ...
After the commit has been applied, the last step is to push the commit to the given software repository, in the case below named origin, to the branch main: [3] git push origin main. Also, a shortcut to add all the unstaged files and make a commit at the same time is: [4] git commit -a -m 'commit message'
GitHub (/ ˈ ɡ ɪ t h ʌ b /) is a proprietary developer platform that allows developers to create, store, manage, and share their code. It uses Git to provide distributed version control and GitHub itself provides access control, bug tracking, software feature requests, task management, continuous integration, and wikis for every project.

Wiki-to-Git or Wiki2Git is a tool that helps to download MediaWiki page history and push it to a Git repository. Wiki2Git can be used to export things like a Wikipedia gadget (or a user script) to some Git server (e.g. GitHub or GitLab or Gitea). The history of the Git repository will preserve authors and original messages (original description ...
In version control systems, a repository is a data structure that stores metadata for a set of files or directory structure. [1] Depending on whether the version control system in use is distributed, like Git or Mercurial, or centralized, like Subversion, CVS, or Perforce, the whole set of information in the repository may be duplicated on every user's system or may be maintained on a single ...
Organizations utilizing this centralize pattern often choose to host the central repository on a third party service like GitHub, which offers not only more reliable uptime than self-hosted repositories, but can also add centralized features like issue trackers and continuous integration.
There is also a dedicated repository, the blessed repository, which contains the "reference" version of the project source code. To contribute to this, developers create their own public clone of the project and push their changes to those. Then, they request one or more maintainers of the blessed repository to pull in their changes.
