So today we'll talk a bit about Git and we'll see some basic commands for you to start using it. So, what is it? Git is a version control system mainly used for software development. Basically is a way of saving code on a remote repository, you can then have a local copy of this repository on your computer and work on this code. You then just send the changes you made on your code to the remote repository and Git will keep track of all the different versions of this code. If something goes wrong you always have the ability to go back to an older version of the code.
