Welcome, human.
Why are you here?
Suppose you're at the CEEO, working VERY diligently on a project.
As you're progressing through your project, it is natural for you to experiment.
Then you realize, your experiment/the direction you took kinda sucks.
You reach a point where you say "darn.. I wish I saved that earlier version of my project.."
GIT is here to help
No more saving version1.js, version2.js, verison3.js... of your code
Git will help you with keeping track of your revisions.
More formally, git is a " distributed revision control and source code management (SCM) system" (wikipedia.org).
More importantly however, git it your friend.
