Version control with git

Why version control?

Many of you will recognize this situation:

A proper version control system should

• allow you to keep track of changes in your files
• give access to previous versions
• enable you to work with others together

Using a version control system will be crucial when you work together as a group on a project. In this course, we use the git version control system. There are different ways to use git.
