For all you programmers out there who have no fucking clue what Git or Github is all about, this is for you. I've found it very helpful in understanding Got and what is used for.

The software we use on our various computer devices all run on code; without code, your phone, and most modern electronics, would just be boring, lifeless, metallic boxes. Code is what software is made of, and it is written by people we call programmers.

The web sites and applications you use today are rarely written by a single programmer. Programmers usually work in teams, building and crafting software by writing multiple lines of codes across various files. The code they write adds new features, fixes issues, or improves old features. The software on your device goes through a lot of refining to make it work better, faster, and nicer.

As a project grows (especially for large programs or software), it becomes important to record or monitor the changes that occur over time. There are various ways to watch, or track, these changes. These methods are collectively called version control systems -- systems designed to track various versions of a project. This is where Git comes in.

Git is a version control tool, a program that helps monitor changes in your project. It can be an incredibly difficult tool to understand, but once one grasps it, it becomes an indispensable tool, very useful in multiple ways. And the great thing is you don't have to be a programmer to find Git useful - designers, writers, and others from various fields have found it useful.

GitHub is an online, social website that runs on Git - think Git on steriods. Programmers can save their projects on GitHub and easily share it with other colleagues. GitHub also adds some extra features to Git, mostly aimed at improving collaboration among coders.

This tutorial will teach you the basics of Git and GitHub. At the end of this tutorial, you would learn how to work and collaborate with programmers worldwide.

PREREQUISITES
