    • A command line tool
  • GitHub: a Web-based Git version control repository housing service

    • Commit: saving a version of your file(s)
  • Go back to previous versions

COLLABORATE WITH OTHERS

  • Discuss code changes before merging them into main branch using pull requests
    • Merging: incorporating new changes (commits)
    • Branch: copy of your project
    • Push request: request to add your changes from a branch back into master
    • Pull request: request to get the code within the branch to make a local copy
  • Simultaneous development
    • Everyone has their own local copy of code and can work simultaneously on their own branches

SHARE YOUR CODE

  • Allow others to fork your repository
    • Fork: make a copy of someone else’s repository
    • Forks are most commonly used to propose changes to someone else’s project or to use someone else’s project as a starting point for your own idea
  • Share your work for job applications
    • Many job recruiters will expect you to have a GitHub that they can look at
  • Access your code from anywhere in the world
  • Easily get feedback from others
