Recently I learned all about Git, an open-source version control software, and the importance of utilizing Git to my benefit. GitHub, a web-based interface that uses Git and allows multiple people to make separate changes to a web page at the same time, took me through a pretty fantastic walk-through learning course (shout-out to the GitHub teacher aid) as it showed me all the ins and outs this amazing software for completely free! It allows for real-time collaboration and encourages teams to work together to build and edit their site content!
I have thought about it before,
“So while working with a team, whats the best way to collaborate and make sure everyone is on the same page?”
Then Bam! GitHub was dropped into my lap and answered all my questions.
GitHub allows multiple developers to work on a single project at the same time, reduces the risk of duplicating or conflicting work, and can help decrease production time. Developers can build code, track changes, and present solutions to problems that you may encounter during the development process simultaneously.
Learning Git is fairly simple, you'll have about a solid 7 “commands” you will have to learn and when to use them correctly. GitHub itself has a pretty awesome “How-To” course you can adventure through, otherwise, I'm sure you’ll end up on YouTube, which is where I also go first, seeking your answers. Of course, with time and repetition, almost anything can be learned.
