Git & Version Control

Decoupling the Git in Github

Github and Git are 2 different things

Git is the free and open source distributed version control system that's responsible for everything GitHub related that happens locally on your computer.

Github is a code hosting platform for version control and collaboration. It lets you and others work together on projects from anywhere.

Version Control?

Version Control goes by many names:

  • Revision Control
  • Source Control
  • Source Code Management

Version Control is a sclass of systems responsible for managing changes to any type of DATA.

  • Code
  • Documents
  • Backend Infrastructure
  • Collection of information
  • Executables / Programs
  • Anything that can be on a computer can be on Github

But what does it actually mean?

  • As long as you push to Github, your code is saved.

    • But not only your code, your entire history of your code is saved.

  • You can work with your code without worrying about messing anything up

    • Via Branching, you can your main production branch and also a feature branch so if you mess anything up you, you don't actually mess anything up
