Typical Workflow

Start by cloning a repo: `git clone <url>` copies the entire remote codebase locally. During daily work, use `git checkout -b feature-x` to isolate changes in a new branch. After completing features, stage changes with `git add .`, commit via `git commit -m "message"`, then push the branch with `git push origin feature-x`.

For urgent bugs, use `git stash` to temporarily save uncommitted changes and clear the workspace before switching to main branch. When merging, `git merge --no-ff` preserves branch history, while conflicts can be resolved visually with `git mergetool`. Regularly run `git fetch --prune` to clean up local refs for deleted remote branches.

FAQ

Advanced commands?

Focuses on daily ops; see official docs for rebase -i, filter-branch, etc.

Needs network?

No. Static reference only.

Why is the .git directory missing after cloning?

You likely used `--depth=1` for shallow clone, which only downloads the latest history to save space. For full history, either reclone without this flag or run `git fetch --unshallow` on the existing repo.
