Introduction to Git and GitHub
Setup and Deployment · Working
What is this skill?
Git is a version control system that tracks changes to your files over time. GitHub is a website that hosts Git repositories online, making it easy to back up your work and collaborate with others. Understanding the basics of both is essential before you start prototyping.
Why is it important?
- Save your work safely – Git lets you save snapshots of your prototype that you can return to
- Undo mistakes – Accidentally break something? Git lets you go back to a working version
- Collaboration – Share your prototype with team members through GitHub
- Industry standard – Git is used everywhere in software development
