Git Rookie

Git is a version control system that tracks changes made to code, allowing developers to manage and collaborate on projects efficiently. It records each change and stores it as part of the project history, enabling users to avoid losing work, view changes, and fix mistakes. Git is distinct from GitHub, an online platform where users store and share their Git projects. To use Git, users must install and configure it, setting their username and email address using commands such as git config --global user.name and git config --global user.email. Secure Shell (SSH) keys are also used to connect to GitHub, allowing users to push and pull code without entering passwords. By initializing Git, adding files, committing changes, and connecting to a GitHub repository, users can manage their code and collaborate with others. Git is a crucial tool for developers, helping them track changes and work together on projects, and is widely used in the software development industry.
