What is git?

What it is not...

Not...Dropbox

Not...subversion

not...google drive

Git is software that, in a way acts as a mini file system and stores snapshots of files for versioning, not the actual files themselves.

who made this sweet thing called git?

Local repo

git init

This initializes the repo in your folder or directory in order to start versioning the files that you have in that directory.

what is github?

GitHub is a web-based Git repository hosting service, which offers all of the distributed revision control and source code management (SCM) functionality of Git as well as adding its own features.

From Wikipedia...

remote repo

watch, star, fork

clone

branches

what is a branch

A branch is a separate off shoot of master, the main branch, that you can play with and not mess up the master branch.

what's it for?

Branches are used for bug fixes, and features that eventually will get merged into master after the code has been reviewed and or tested.

Create new branch

Checkout new branch

reset

Essentially reset un-stages files that are in the index or staging area.
