Oh, Git.

“What is this?!” is what I said or probably thought when I started learning about git. I was a little confused.

But my confusion didn’t last for too long. As I continued learning about git through various articles and exercises provided by Roots Technology (http://rootstechnology.info/), I felt a lot better. I learned and understood what git is (which is a version control system that track changes to files) and what commands such as git init, clone, merge, status, fetch, push, etc. does.

In addition to git, I also learned some essential commands (such as cd, mkdir, touch, mv, ls -a, etc.) to use on the command line. I use these commands to create, copy and navigate through my files and folders.

After understanding what git does and how to use it, I quickly moved on to learning and understanding how to use GitHub (a website that hosts projects that use git), which didn’t take too long.

With my newfound knowledge, I was able to push my previous projects up to GitHub and use git on my current projects and assignments, which honestly helped me understand and appreciate git even more.

Learning about git and GitHub wasn’t so bad after all.
