Exploring Git and GitHub...

I know about the basic git commands, like

Git clone, 
Git checkout -b 'branch-name', 
Git add <filename> or .(all), 
Git commit -m 'commit-name',
Git push origin, status

That's it. I used it for creating PRs and cloning repos in my internships. I lost touch with the tool by working as an Analyst.

Now, when I am creating a project and after committing the changes, I wanted to create a Pull Request(PR), then I came to know PR is not a native command of Git; it is a command of GitHub, so I need to use

'gh'

in the command to create a PR from my terminal. Just used

gh pr create

for creating a pr from my terminal(very easy, huh!)

That's a new learning for me.

Also, if any reader wants to share more commands apart from the ones I listed for software development, please add them in the comment section; it will greatly help me and others who are on the same learning path.

Thanks for reading my random learning experience!!!!

I joined the community so I can post about little achievements and big failures, so that I can get honest feedback.

It's not LinkedIn; while I want to use LinkedIn to promote my work, I am not up to that level, I feel.

This community is beginner-friendly; while I don't call myself a newbie, otherwise I will stay a newbie all my life. I am an intermediate-level developer (that's what I call myself). I know up to OOP theory, but when you ask me to write an inheritance object, I might fail.

I am totally honest with you; I am here to get real feedback and grow myself pretty fast, since time is an asset I can buy once it's gone.

THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME AND TOLERATING MY FIRST POST HERE!!!!!!!!!
