Sourcetree, a free visual Git client for Mac, comes with its own bundled version of Git. You can download Sourcetree here. To learn how to use Git with Sourcetree (and how to host your Git repositories on Bitbucket) you can follow our comprehensive Git tutorial with Bitbucket and Sourcetree. Setup Git + SourceTree with HomeBrew GPG on MacOS – Invalid GPG Path Published by kgoedecke on June 28, 2018 I recently added my GPG key to my git in order to sign commits.

Git basics

Git is a free and open source version control system, originally created by Linus Torvalds in 2005. Unlike older centralized version control systems such as SVN and CVS, Git is distributed: every developer has the full history of their code repository locally. This makes the initial clone of the repository slower, but subsequent operations such as commit, blame, diff, merge, and log dramatically faster.

Git also has excellent support for branching, merging, and rewriting repository history, which has lead to many innovative and powerful workflows and tools. Pull requests are one such popular tool that allow teams to collaborate on Git branches and efficiently review each others code. Git is the most widely used version control system in the world today and is considered the modern standard for software development.

How Git works

Here is a basic overview of how Git works:

Create a 'repository' (project) with a git hosting tool (like Bitbucket)
Copy (or clone) the repository to your local machine
Add a file to your local repo and 'commit' (save) the changes
'Push' your changes to your master branch
Make a change to your file with a git hosting tool and commit
'Pull' the changes to your local machine
Create a 'branch' (version), make a change, commit the change
Open a 'pull request' (propose changes to the master branch)
'Merge' your branch to the master branch

Definition: A branch represents an independent line of development. Branches serve as an abstraction for the edit/stage/commit process discussed in Git Basics, the first module of this series. You can think of them as a way to request a brand new working directory, staging area, and project history. New commits are recorded in the history for the current branch, which results in a fork in the history of the project.
