Example output
Install Git: First, make sure you have Git installed on your machine. If not, download and install it from the official Git website.
Configure Git: Open a command line (terminal) and configure Git with your username and email using the following commands:
arduino
Copy code
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "youremail@example.com"
Open VS Code: Launch VS Code and open the Command Palette by pressing Ctrl+Shift+P (Windows) or Cmd+Shift+P (Mac).
Install Git Extension (Optional): While VS Code has built-in Git support, you might want to install the GitLens extension for enhanced Git capabilities. To do this, type Extensions: Install Extensions in the Command Palette and then search for "GitLens" and install it.
Initialize a Git Repository: Open the folder where you want to initialize a Git repository in VS Code. Open the Source Control view by clicking on the square icon in the sidebar or pressing Ctrl+Shift+G (Windows) or Cmd+Shift+G (Mac). Click on the "Initialize Repository" button. This will create a new .git directory in your folder and your project is now a Git repository.
Make Changes and Commit: Make some changes to your files. You will see that the modified files will appear in the Source Control view. You can stage your changes by clicking on the + icon next to each file or all files at once by clicking on the + icon at the top. Write a commit message and then click on the checkmark icon at the top to commit your changes.
Push to Remote Repository: If you want to push your changes to a remote repository, you first need to add a remote repository. Open the terminal in VS Code by selecting View > Terminal. Add the remote repository by typing:
csharp
Copy code
git remote add origin <your-repository-url>
Then, push your changes by typing:
perl
Copy code
git push -u origin master
That's it! You have successfully integrated VS Code with Git. You can now use VS Code to manage your Git repositories, make changes, commit them, and push them to a remote repository. Remember to always "CODE SMARTER, NOT HARDER."
