What is Git?

Git is a version control system that keeps track of changes you've made to your source code files over time. GitHub is a website that lets you manage your Git repositories (we'll come back to this term later).

Git is great because it allows you to go back to old versions of your code. If you mess something up in your current version, you can recover the old version of your source code. You can also collaborate with others on projects using Git, and show the world the projects that you've created!
