As mentioned, Git was first developed for Linux systems, which is why the main way of using this tool is through the command line. On Windows, we don't use the command line as much as a Linux or Unix user, but using it gives you access to all the features of Git. For Windows, there are some GUI tools that can be used for Git actions, but they often have some limitations. As the command line is the preferred method for Git, we will cover only the command-line commands in this book.
