Github Introduction
What is Git?
Git is version control software, which means it manages changes to a project without overwriting any part of that project.
Why would I need it?
- Makes it easy to roll back to previous version (undo errors)
- Makes it easy to share code with other people without creating conflicts
- Makes it easy to deploy changes from multiple sources
- Backs up your work to the cloud
