Git is a powerful tool for programmers - it allows you to keep track of changes made to your code, compare and revert them.
It is recommended to use Git when working on programming homework assignments, for example in Intro2CS.
Luckily for you, the next few videos teach the basics of using Git!Note that you can use git on Windows and Mac too, if you follow these instructions.
The command-line usage is exactly the same as shown in the videos.Optional reading material:

Learning git branching -
In this video we'll learn what are remote repositories (in short - they'll allow us to work together with others on a single project). We'll also see how to fetch, pull and push to remote repos (using, how surprisingly, 'git fetch', 'git pull', and 'git push'), and how to open remote repos in github.
