1.1 What is version control?

• Version control is a management system that allows you to record and track changes in your source code and files so that you can recall certain versions later.
• It’s like a Google Doc for programming, where you can collaborate with multiple people working on the same code and see the source code’s history

Ultimately, using a version control system allows teams to streamline their development process, which improves their overall efficiency

Git Standard Practices

1. Using .gitignore

Useful .gitignore templates: GitHub

The .gitignore file is a text file that tells Git which files or folders to ignore in a project. A local .gitignore file is usually placed in the root directory of a project. You can also create a global .gitignore file and any entries in that file will be ignored in all of your Git repositories.
