<listitem><para><emphasis><filename>git commit</filename></emphasis> – Creates a “commit” that documents
the changes you made.
Commits are used for historical purposes, for determining if a maintainer of a project
will allow the change, and for ultimately pushing the change from your local Git repository
into the project’s upstream (or master) repository.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para><emphasis><filename>git checkout &lt;branch-name&gt;</filename></emphasis> - Changes
your working branch. This command is analogous to “cd”.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para><emphasis><filename>git checkout –b &lt;working-branch&gt;</filename></emphasis> - Creates
a working branch on your local machine where you can isolate work.
It is a good idea to use local branches when adding specific features or changes.
This way if you don’t like what you have done you can easily get rid of the work.</para></listitem>

<listitem><para><emphasis><filename>git pull</filename></emphasis> – Retrieves information from an upstream Git
repository and places it in your local Git repository.
You use this command to make sure you are synchronized with the upstream repository
from which the project’s maintainer uses to pull changes into the master repository.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para><emphasis>git push</emphasis> – Sends all your local changes you have committed
to an upstream Git repository.
<listitem><para><emphasis><filename>git push</filename></emphasis> – Sends all your local changes you
have committed to an upstream Git repository.
The maintainer of the project draws from these repositories when adding your changes to the
project’s master repository.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para><emphasis>git merge</emphasis> – Combines or adds changes from one local branch of
your repository with another branch.
<listitem><para><emphasis><filename>git merge</filename></emphasis> – Combines or adds changes from one
local branch of your repository with another branch.
When you create a local Git repository the default branch is named “master”.
A typical workflow is to create a temporary branch for isolated work, make and commit your
changes, switch to the master branch, merge the changes in the temporary branch with the
master branch, and then delete the temporary branch</para></listitem>

one branch into another branch.
<listitem><para><emphasis><filename>git cherry-pick</filename></emphasis> – Choose and apply specific

There are times when you might not be able to merge all the changes in one branch with
another but need to pick out certain ones.</para></listitem>
