A) Course Introduction
- This course focuses on how to keep track of different versions of code and configuration files using "Version Control Systems (VCS)".
-
Version Control Systems (VCS) will allow us to easily roll back when mistakes happen and also help us collaborate with others.
-
It can also help us with managing configuration files and maintaining the source code of programs and scripts.
-
In this course we will introduce a popular VCS called Git and we'll learn how to use it.
- We will also go through how to set up an account the service called "Github", so that we can create remote repositories to store code and configuration.
- By the end of this course we will be able to store codes history in Git, and collaborate with others in Github (and also create a portfolio, Github portfolios give companies an idea of what projects you've worked on and what kind of code you can write).
