First things first.
Let's start with some basics about Git.
What is Git?
Git is a distributed version control system (VCS).
With a VCS, we can:
- Track the history (of a project)
- Work together (multiple people on a project)

What is a VCS?
A VCS is a way to record the changes made to our code over time. These changes are kept in a unique database called a repository.
We can look at our project history & see who has made what changes, when, & why.
We can always revert changes if we mess up.

Why do we need a VCS?
If we do not use a version control system, we'll constantly need to store different versions of our projects in various folders.
This can make the process very slow & doesn't scale at all. Especially if multiple people are working on the same project.

Now, it's time for you to go & create some practice projects on GitHub.
Practice is the key to learning.
Here are some GitHub Repos for Web Dev:👇
