Git

Git is a versioning system. You’ve used the before, every time you renamed a personal document in something like document_final.docx, document_final_final.docx, document_FOR_REAL_FINAL_THIS_TIME.docx.

Developers came up with git to solve this kind of problem. First locally, then in the cloud.

The problem that a hosted git environment solves is related to the cooperation between programmers. If you want to work on the same file, at a scale of more than 2 or 3 people, you need a system for that ( using google drive between 200 people is kinda hard).

In order to set up a git repo, you’ll need git installed.

Then, we can begin.

Go into an empty directory and make a new one and initialise a git repo inside of it

# linux version, please look into WSL if you're on windows
mkdir GitGhidus
cd GitGhidus
git init
