In this video, I walk you through the essential workflow of version controlling your projects using Git and Visual Studio Code. We cover essential fundamentals like initializing a repository, staging files, and committing changes using both Git commands and the VS Code Git interface.
We will use GitHub Copilot to instantly generate a .gitignore file to keep our repository clutter-free and brainstorm a professional repository name that communicates business value to hiring managers. We also tackle a common stumbling block: managing multiple GitHub account credentials and authenticating via Google so you can push your code to the cloud without getting stuck on permission errors.
