Git workflows for beginners

Tue, 23 Dec 2025 10:00:00 -0500

This is a guide I made while learning how to code and use git. Hope you find it useful too!

Typical flow (for 90% of cases)

git clone # get repo (first time)

OR (if you already cloned it)

git pull origin main # update local main

git checkout -b new-branch # create branch

[make edits]

git diff # (optional) see what you changed
git status # (optional) see what’s staged vs not

git add . # stage changes
git commit -m “message” # snapshot commit
git push origin new-branch # push branch

[create PR on GitHub]

after merging the PR:

git checkout main
git pull origin main

git branch -D old-branch # delete local branch

Quick checks

Use these when you’re unsure what’s going on.
