Introduction to git and Github

When you work on a text document, say your CV using text editors like Google Docs or Microsoft word, you can undo certain changes using Ctrl + z .

Building a piece of software, can be like working on a text document. Often times, you'd write code, revert some changes and make certain variations to the work done overtime.

Things get more interesting when you work in teams, where a few people or thousands of people work concurrently on the project's codebase. In this case using Ctrl + z is never enough, and often times, you have a working solution you wouldn't want to break, this is the true essence of git and Github.

These two tools along with other substitutes and related technologies form the Version control system.

Learning git and Github is quite larger than to be crammed into this coursework, for this reason I have included a video from free code camp which is sufficient to get you up and running.
