# Basic Git commands
It's important to know some basic commands to work on your shell
* Go into a project, directory or file to work in it
```
cd NAME-OF-PROJECT-OR-FILE
```
* Go back one directory or file
```
cd ../
```
* Go to the master branch to pull the latest changes from there
```
git checkout master
```
* Download the latest changes in the project, so that you work on an up-to-date copy (this is important to do every time you work on a project), while you setup tracking branches
```
git pull REMOTE NAME-OF-BRANCH -u
```
(REMOTE: origin) (NAME-OF-BRANCH: could be "master" or an existing branch)
* Create a branch (remember that spaces won't be recognized, you need to use a hyphen or underscore)
```
git checkout -b NAME-OF-BRANCH
```
