Understanding GIT
This page will tell you the basics of GIT and why it is useful.
What is GIT?
GIT is a distributed version control system. What that means is that it is a software used to track changes in any given file. It allows programmers to collaborate and work together at the same time and gives them a chance to monitor others work.
Developers use GIT for several reasons. One of the main reason is it allows them to keep track of the changes made and revert back to the previous version if needs be.
A branch is a new seperate version of the main repository. It allows you to make any changes needed and then merge your code onto the main brainch for reviewing.
