Glossary7
Open the full glossary- Git (version control)A tool that records how a folder changes over time: who changed what, when — and lets you go back at any point.
- DotfileFiles whose names begin with a dot: hidden from listings by default, because they are usually configuration rather than content you browse.
- Repository (repo)A project folder plus a record of every change made to it since day one.
- CommitOne save: the project's entire state at one moment, recorded together with a note explaining it.
- BranchA parallel line of work forked off the main one. However much you change on it, the main line does not move.
- Clone and forkclone copies a remote repo onto your computer with a command; fork copies someone else's repo into your own account on a website.
- Status codeThe three-digit number on the first line of a response, telling you whether the call succeeded, whether you made a mistake, or whether the server did.
