    file2, filea, fileb, etc) • Use a tool with automatic save and revert i.e. Google Docs, Share Latex • Use a dedicated version control system
  4. @codeJENNerator Overview • a free and open source project •

    a protocol for versioning documents • can be used locally without a server • uses a tree structure • more videos: https://git-scm.com/videos
  5. @codeJENNerator Terms • init • clone • branch • add

    • commit • master • stash • fetch
  6. @codeJENNerator Terms • init • clone • branch • add

    • commit • master • stash • fetch • pull
  7. @codeJENNerator Terms • init • clone • branch • add

    • commit • master • stash • fetch • pull • push
  8. @codeJENNerator Terms • init • clone • branch • add

    • commit • master • stash • fetch • pull • push • merge
  9. @codeJENNerator • Init - start a new project locally •

    Clone - copy everything to your local computer • Branch - create a space to make your changes without affecting anything else • Add - add files to be saved • Commit - create a save point • Master - the main branch (by default) for everyone
  10. @codeJENNerator • Stash - save your changes and come back

    to them later • Fetch - get any changes from the server • Pull - fetch any changes from your teammates and merge it into your current local copy • Merge - include changes into a branch • Merges can happen when you want to include your changes in the team project (after a push) • Merges also happen when you want to get your team members work onto your own machine (after a pull)
  11. @codeJENNerator Github • a private for-profit company • hosts git

    source code repositories • helps you work as a team or with public groups • can also convert from svn, hg, or tfs to git • has a great UI for assisting with some common tasks • The logo is called the octocat ;)
