Angular 7 - version control Git in Visual Studio Code

Question

I'm new to Angular (also to Git and VS Code). When I change something in my Angular project, I always get notifications that I should commit updates in my project. But I haven't logged anywhere to my GitHub account, so I'm interested what are all those commits about? Here's screenshot:

Answer 1

It is all about your local git repository, which is present when you have a .git hidden folder on your project.

The files present on the screenshot, below "Changes" are the one you can see with the command git status

Using the "Commit all", is equivalent to execute the 2 following commands, which respectively add all current changes to the next commit, and commit previously staged changes

git add .
git commit

Answer 2

You can use git in locally. Git is a distributed version control system in contrast of svn (svn is a centralized verison control system).

Check diffs here: https://backlog.com/blog/git-vs-svn-version-control-system/

If you have repository in for eg.: github or bitbucket:

• You can commit your changes (but this is only in your local machine) after commit you have to push these changes to be available on your repository.

In your case you can not push only commit, create branches, rebase your code etc. But only in local.

Answer 3

Locally, until you will insert a Git-services account.
