Introduction

What is Git

Git is a distributed version control system, (VCS). Instead of the traditional centralized control system where even checking out a file required admin privileges, git allows any work to be locally and may diverge as much as you want.

Goal

To know git well. Not all the commands, but enough that you git it. We will target 99%. We will primarily use the high level commands, but will dip down into the low level commands to really understand how git works.

Fact

Git and GitHub are 2 different things. Git is the actual tool which provide us all the functionality, cli commands, etc..., whereas GitHub is just a server whose sole purpose is to backup our repo, into a server.
