The management of changes to documents, computer programs, large web sites, and other collections of information. Examples: Numbering of book editions Wikipedia’s Page history Where did it come from? The need for a logical way to organize and control revisions has existed for almost as long as writing has existed, but revision control became much more important, and complicated when the era of computing began https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Version_control https://deploy-preview-149--peppy-otter-7a55ad.netlify.app/00-intro-to-version-control/02-what-is-git/index.html Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://deploy-preview-149--peppy-otter-7a55ad.netlify.app/00-intro-to-version-control/02-what-is-git/index.html What is git? Open source (free to use) Version control software. Usually accessed via the command line, or a client program. Where did it come from? Git development began in 2006 after many developers of the Linux kernel gave up access to BitKeeper (at the time the best but proprietary) https://deploy-preview-149--peppy-otter-7a55ad.netlify.app/00-intro-to-version-control/03-what-is-github/index.html Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://deploy-preview-149--peppy-otter-7a55ad.netlify.app/00-intro-to-version-control/03-what-is-github/index.html What is GitHub A website that allows you to store your Git repositories online and makes it easy to collaborate with others. They also provide other services like issue (bug) tracking and wikis. Similar services are GitLab and BitBucket.

It can also interact with GitHub or any other online repository. We’ve chosen it because it makes setting up really easy and is also easy to use so we can focus more on the principles of version control. https://deploy-preview-149--peppy-otter-7a55ad.netlify.app/00-intro-to-version-control/04a-anatomy-repo/index.html Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://deploy-preview-149--peppy-otter-7a55ad.netlify.app/00-intro-to-version-control/04a-anatomy-repo/index.html Anatomy of a GitHub Repository Readme files. The README.md files explain what your project is, and how to install and use it. README.md is the file that is automatically displayed when you open a GitHub repo. License. Without some sort of licence, the contents of the repository are technically closed. Some allow users of the code to do anything they like with their code - these are known as permissive licences. Examples are the MIT Licence or Apache. https://deploy-preview-149--peppy-otter-7a55ad.netlify.app/00-intro-to-version-control/05-recap/index.html Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://deploy-preview-149--peppy-otter-7a55ad.netlify.app/00-intro-to-version-control/05-recap/index.html Git, GitHub, & GitKraken Client Git, GitKraken Client, and GitHub are three separate things. Git is the system used for version control, but you don’t have to use it with GitHub or GitKraken Client. - Git allows you to effectively “save” your work at important points in time and come back to any of the save points. - Sharing our work on GitHub allows others to inspect our work, make copies and contribute back changes. - GitKraken Client allows you to work with both from a single graphical user interface.
