We learned how to use source control, including git and the cloud service github,
0:05
in order to track our changes to our files and our projects, as we went along.
0:09
This is not only useful for going back in case you mess something up,
0:13
but it really allows you to move faster without having to worry
0:16
about all the things that are changing in your project,
0:19
you just add them to git and it will keep track of everything over time.
0:22
We learned how to use git's building block commands,
0:25
including git add, commit, status, log, push and pull as the main ones
0:30
in order to work with our files, add them to the repository and manipulate them.
0:36
These commands are the building blocks that we use in git.
0:40
Github is the cloud service that stores backups of our git repositories
0:45
and makes it easier for us to collaborate through github issues and pull requests
0:49
with other contractors that we're working with or employees in our business.
0:54
Again, think about using git and source control
0:58
as something that allows you to move faster,
1:00
because you are able to collaborate with other people
1:03
not stepping over each other's changes,
1:05
and you're able to sync up these files on a backup service
1:07
just in case anything happens to your local machine.
