Git & Git Hub Glossary (Terminologies)

By
GitHub is a web-based platform that provides hosting for version control and collaboration. It allows multiple people to work together on projects from anywhere in the world. Here are some common terminologies associated with GitHub:

- **@mention**: To notify a person on GitHub by using `@` before their username¹.
- **Access token**: A token used in place of a password when performing Git operations over HTTPS with Git on the command line or the API¹.
- **Branch**: A parallel version of a repository that does not affect the primary or main branch, allowing you to work freely without disrupting the "live" version¹.
- **Commit**: A record of changes made to a repository. A commit includes a commit message that describes what changes were made¹.
- **Fork**: A personal copy of another user's repository that's independent of the original repository¹.
- **Issue**: A way to track enhancements, tasks, or bugs for work on GitHub¹.
- **Merge**: The act of integrating changes from one branch into another¹.
- **Pull request**: A method for submitting contributions to a project. It shows diffs of the content from both branches and allows for discussion and review before the changes are merged¹.
- **Repository (repo)**: The most basic element of GitHub. It's easiest to imagine it as a project's folder. A repository contains all of the project files and stores each file's revision history¹.
- **Clone**: A copy of a repository that lives on your computer instead of on a website's server, or the act of making that copy¹.

These are just a few of the terms you'll encounter on GitHub. For a more comprehensive list, you can refer to the [GitHub glossary](^1^) provided in the GitHub Docs. If you have any specific questions or need further explanation on any of these terms, feel free to ask!.
