Why use Git?

Stavrina Dimosthenous

Do you need version control?

Make changes

Track your work

Share your work

You might be doing it already

However…

• Which file was the actual final version?
• Do you need something that only exists in one of the versions?
• Do you need an extra version just for collaborators?

However…

Are you bloating your file?

You can always roll back!

Using Git locally

• One file
• Keep track of your change history

• Work on new features/parts without disturbing the top copy of the file
