Introduction

Software development is the process of designing, coding, testing, and maintaining software applications. It encompasses various disciplines and best practices that enable the creation of robust and efficient software.

1. Version Control

1.1 Git Basics

Git is a distributed version control system that allows developers to track changes in their codebase. Here's how you can initialize a Git repository and commit changes:

# Initialize a Git repository
git init
 
# Add files to the staging area
git add .
 
# Commit changes
git commit -m "Initial commit"
