Local-Only Git Workflow Guide

What I Learned I organized a workflow for using Git solely locally, without using remotes like GitHub, aimed at Git beginners and individual developers. Since Git inherently keeps all history locally, understanding local Git before learning about remotes makes it easier to handle and less confusing. Backups (pseudo-remote/mirror) are possible even within local environments.
