This are the basic commands to operate with git as a loner: no branches, no remotes, no merges... Just the basic stuff.

The minimum concepts you need to know are:

• Git is a version control system. It allows you to store changes in your files. Don't mix it with GitHub, which is a platform to store your repositories.
• Working directory: the directory where you are working.
• Staging area: a place to store changes before committing them.
• Repository: the place where the changes are stored.
• Commit: a set of changes stored in the repository. They are identified by a hash. For example, commit 1234567.

The basic workflow is:

1. Make changes in the working directory.
2. Add changes to the staging area.
3. Commit changes to the repository.
4. Repeat.

Conceptually: working directory -> staging area -> repository.
