Git and GitHub Version Control Guide

This document discusses version control and Git. It explains that version control systems track changes to code over time, allow branching so multiple versions can be worked on simultaneously, and enable collaboration. It describes Git's local and remote repository structure and core operations like commit, push, pull, clone and branch. Key points are made about tracking file snapshots at each commit and how commits move the HEAD pointer in the local repository.

Version Control

Why track/manage different versions of code?


Version Control

Why track/manage different versions of code?

• Backup: Undo or refer to old stuff

• Branch: Maintain old release while working on new

• Collaborate: Work in parallel with teammates


Version Control Systems (VCSs)

• Help you track/manage/distribute revisions

• Standard in modern development

• Examples:
older – Revision Control System (RCS)
– Concurrent Versions System (CVS)
– Subversion (SVN)
newer – Git

Our focus
Version Control Hosting Services

• Enable sharing version control repos

• Internet/Web based

• Examples:
– SourceForge
– Bitbucket
– GitLab
– GitHub
