Go into / get into

Hi teachers,

1. May I know if the "go into" and "get into" usages mean the same?

From the dictionary:

a. She went into medicine

b. She got into gourmet cooking.

2. Is "He went into a fight" same as "He got into a fight"?

3. "He got into a fight" same as "He put up a fight"

Thank you.

Hi Mister Micawber,

I'm sorry I was careless. I have to use "Could I know...?"

Thank you for you help.
