## Create a New Working Area
#### 1. Enter the ==Folder== that you want to build ==Repository== from terminal
#### 2. clone the existing ==Repository== or initiate new ==Repository==
After `git clone` or `git init` , you will see there is a folder umder ==Folder==, which is the new ==Repository== you've built
```linux=
# clone the existing repository
git clone https://mlxxwedw.fcjdoqwe
# initiate a new repository
git init
```
## Create branch
```linux=
# Create branch
git branch <new_branch_name>
# check the current branch
git branch
git checkout <branch_name>
```
## Routine Update
#### 1. Enter the ==Repository== you've built
#### 2. Update the contents
#### 3. Check the current branch you're in
```linux=
git branch
```
#### 4. Add the change in the working directory to the staging area
```linux=
# Add the change in the working directory
git add .
# Check the change in the working directory
git status
# Delete the change in the working directory
git reset
```
#### 5. Create a commit for the change without pushing to ==Repository==
```linux=
git commit -m 'comment'
```
#### 6. Create .gitignore to edit the file extension, filders, and files you want to ignore when pushing the ==Repository==
