The 5-Command Cheat Sheet

Command	What it does	Safe?
git status	Shows what changed	100% safe
git add <file>	Stages a file for saving	Safe
git commit -m "message"	Saves a snapshot	Safe
git push	Uploads to GitHub	Safe
git pull	Downloads from GitHub	Safe

The Daily Workflow

git status                        # 1. What changed?
git add myfile.py                 # 2. Stage changes
git commit -m "Describe changes"  # 3. Save snapshot
git push                          # 4. Upload to GitHub

Something went wrong?

The nuclear option always works:

cd ..
rm -rf atoc4815_git
git clone https://github.com/WillyChap/atoc4815_git.git

This deletes your local copy and starts fresh. Your work on GitHub is safe.
