What is Version Control?

Version control is a system that records changes to files over time. Think of it as an undo history for your entire project.

Without version control:

• project_final.zip
• project_final_v2.zip
• project_REAL_final.zip 😂

With Git:

• Every change is saved with a message
• You can go back to any point in time
• Multiple people can work together

Git vs GitHub

Git is the tool on your computer. GitHub is the website where you store and share your code online.
