Git is a tool that can be used for tracking the history of file changes. Think of it as a turbocharged save button that allows you to:

Go back to previous versions of your code

Train Your Data

Work alongside other developers easily

Key Git Terms:

Repository (repo): Git-tracked folder, like a Git folder.

Commit: your code in a single moment in time.

Branch: A diverging line of development

Merge: Combining branches.

Clone: Download a repo to your computer.

Push/Pull: push/fetch code from github

Why Use Git?

Never lose your code.

Go back to previous versions.

It’s common for most developer jobs.

Git might seem a little tricky when you first see it but is really useful after you get used to it. Start small, practice and you will get there!
