<summary>What is the difference between `git pull` and `git fetch`?</summary>
|
||||
|
||||
Shortly, git pull = git fetch + git merge
|
||||
|
||||
When you run git pull, it gets all the changes from the remote or central
|
||||
repository and attaches it to your corresponding branch in your local reposistory.
|
||||
|
||||
git fetch gets all the changes from the remote repository, stores the changes in
|
||||
a separate branch in your local repository

<summary>Explain the following: `git directory`, `working directory` and `staging area`
|
||||
</summary>
|
||||
|
||||
The Git directory is where Git stores the metadata and object database for your project. This is the most important part of Git, and it is what is copied when you clone a repository from another computer.
|
||||
|
||||
The working directory is a single checkout of one version of the project. These files are pulled out of the compressed database in the Git directory and placed on disk for you to use or modify.
|
||||
|
||||
The staging area is a simple file, generally contained in your Git directory, that stores information about what will go into your next commit. It’s sometimes referred to as the index, but it’s becoming standard to refer to it as the staging area.
