Intro to Git

Objectives

• Define version control systems
• Identify main git commands to manage files
• Distinguish bewteen local and remote repositories

Motivation

Have you ever worked on a paper or any document collaboratively with others?

• What have you noticed?
• What was the workflow like?
• What did work, what didn't?

Now enter software programming. Programming is a highly team based activity. That's why I love programming: A project is always more fun when you've got friends working with you. Sometimes very large teams work on a single project. We as developers need tools that support collaborative working. Enter Version Control Systems.
