HOW TO GIT ’ER DONE!
Your laptop ↔ GitHub. PUSH sends your work UP. PULL brings changes DOWN.

git pull — grab the latest before you touch anything.$ … do your work …
$
git add . — stage everything you changed.$
git commit -m "what you did" — save a snapshot with a note.$
git push — send it up to GitHub.↑ PUSH — send YOUR work UP to GitHub
$
git status — Shows what files you changed. Optional but smart.$
git add . — Stages all your changes. The dot means “everything.”$
git commit -m "…" — Saves a snapshot with a short note (write it like a headline).$
