Learn Git and Github: Part 2- The best way to collaborate on projects and keep code safe!
If you're new to this series, start at part 1: • Learn Git and Github: Part 1- The industry...
You want to:
❗️ be able to turn back the clock on your codebase if you accidentally write code that breaks everything.
❗️ have backups of your code off-site in case something happens to your computer
❗️ have an easy way to collaborate with other developers so that you aren't all stepping on each other's code
Git and Github give you all these things! We'll learn to use them by working through a free open-source git workshop called Git It.
🎓 WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS VIDEO 🎓
