Git is a version control software, a type of software the keeps track of versions of files in a directory. It was created by Linus Torvalds (the Linux guy) because he needed a way to easily track changes while maintaining the Linux source code

## Basic Workflow
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Git tracks changes (i.e. versions) of your files in a repository. A repository is a directory on your computer that contains your files and git's metadata about the changes. To turn a directory on your computer into a repository, navigate to your directory in a terminal and run this command.
|
||
|
|
git init .
|
||
|
|
This has created an empty repo in the directory. The next step is to add some files.
|
||
|
|
- commit, pull, push, remote
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Branching
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- checkout, merge
|
||
|
