# My First Week Learning Git

This week, I was introduced to Git and GitHub as part of my Data Science learning journey.

At first, I found Git a little confusing. There were several commands to learn, and I wasn’t sure how they all fitted together.

After practising, I started to understand that Git is mainly about keeping track of changes to my work.

The basic process I learned was:

Working Directory → Staging → Commit → Push

Working Directory

The working directory is basically where I do my work on my computer.

When I create or edit a file, the changes are made here first.

One of the first commands I learned was:

bash
git status
