Git Command Execution

Git is a CLI tool that shoul be executed within the working directory as it reads from local files about data relevant to the repository.

Git commands like git pull and git push are executed against the Git repository that is currently in your working directory. So if you have two project folders, project1 and project2, and you run git pull in project1, Git will pull changes from the remote repository for project1. Similarly, if you run git pull in project2, Git will pull changes from the remote repository for project2.

Each Git repository has its own set of Git objects (like commits, branches, and tags) that are stored locally in the repository’s .git directory. When you run Git commands like git pull or git push, Git reads and writes these Git objects in the local repository.

So, if you want to interact with a specific Git repository, you need to navigate to the corresponding project folder in your terminal or command prompt and run Git commands from there. This ensures that Git is working with the correct local repository and remote repository.
