Describe your suggestion

It would be helpful to include a link to a PDF file that contains a more comprehensive list of Git commands for reference and learning purposes. This can serve as a supplementary resource for users looking to deepen their understanding of Git workflows.

Thanks for the suggestion @titikshit. I've converted this to a discussion because it's light on details and not actionable (yet).

I have a few questions...

• Why a PDF?
• What additional Git commands do learners need to know about in the Git basics lesson?
• Have you seen the later Git lessons that we have in the curriculum?

Thank you Kevin for addressing this. I have not seen the intermediate git section and it contains a lot more commands. A beginner might not need much commands.
I was confused between one though, as there was git push , so i thought there would be git pull, but instead we have git clone.
Then i researched and found that both are different.

Thanks for explaining, I see what you mean. We cover git pull later on in this lesson - https://www.theodinproject.com/lessons/javascript-using-git-in-the-real-world

Git pull is only really needed when you're...

• Working on a team where multiple people are working on a project and pushing up changes you'll need to pull down.
• Or if you're working solo and working on different machines and need to pull down changes you made and pushed up from a different machine.

It's something most people won't need to know about, or be able to use early in the curriculum so we leave it to later.
