git pull	Synchronize your local repository with the latest changes from GitHub. Always run this before starting work in VS Code.
git add .	Track all changes made to your files.
git commit -m "description here"	Save a snapshot of your tracked changes with a short description.
git push	Send your committed changes to GitHub.

Special Note 2:
