GIT is a version control system that allows for efficient collaboration and tracking of changes in source code. Netbeans is an integrated development environment (IDE) that supports GIT, allowing for seamless integration and management of code changes within the IDE.
To set up GIT in Netbeans, go to the Team menu and select Git, then select Clone from the pop-up menu. Enter the repository URL and your login credentials, and click Finish. This will create a local copy of the repository on your machine.
To make changes to your code, simply make the necessary edits in your code and save the changes. In Netbeans, right-click on the project and select Git, then click Commit. This will open a window where you can review and select the changes you want to commit, add a commit message, and click Commit and Push to push the changes to the remote repository.
To revert back to a previous version of your code, go to the Team menu and select Git, then click on Show History. This will display a list of all the commits made to the repository. Right-click on the commit you want to revert to and select Reset, then choose the option to reset the changes to the selected commit.
Yes, Netbeans supports GIT for all types of projects, not just Java. You can use it for projects in languages like C++, PHP, and HTML, among others. The process for setting up and using GIT in Netbeans may vary slightly depending on the project type, but the basic principles remain the same.
