Hey there! Welcome to the introduction to Git and GitHub. In this course,https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=0.42
we’ll cover the basics of working with Git, one of the most widely-used versionhttps://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=5.43
control systems in the world. When we’re done, you’ll know at a high levelhttps://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=10.35
how Git and GitHub work, you’ll be able to set up your own local and remotehttps://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=14.58
Git repositories, and you’ll even be ready to start contributing to projects.https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=19.05
00:24https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=24.12
So, let’s get started with What is a Version Control System.https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=24.12
00:28https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=28.41
What Git and GitHub—https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=28.41
or, really, any VCS—are going to give you is peace of mind.https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=30.27
Whether you want to work in a company, as a freelancer, or build the next big apphttps://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=33.69
on your own, you will need to use a version control system.https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=38.67
00:42https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=42.36
Using a version control system lets you code with confidencehttps://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=42.36
as you can move forwards and backwards in the timeline of your project,https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=46.05
you can hunt the origin of bugs, prevent losing or writing over files,https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=50.94
and you can collaborate with everybody on your project.https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=55.86
00:59https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=59.82
So, what are the basics of a version control system?https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=59.82
Have you ever named an important file Version1, 2, 3, and so on?https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=63.84
This is a very simple form of version control.https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=69.27
01:12https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=72.33
You want the ability to go back and get info out of those files and revert tohttps://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=72.33
or see the changes over time, but simply renaming themhttps://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=77.46
Version1 to infinity can get unmanageable pretty quickly.https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=81.54
01:25https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=85.86
This is where version control systems can save the day.https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=85.86
A version control system will track the history of your files for you.https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=89.31
You can save the state of your file or files at any point.https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=93.84
01:38https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=98.76
You can freely edit the files and keep working on them in that modified statehttps://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=98.76
until you are ready to save those changes and thus bring into the world a newhttps://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=103.71
version of your file.https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=108.51
01:50https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=110.16
You can even recall old versions of the file or files if you’d like.https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=110.16
So, let’s take a quick stroll through the history of version control.https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=115.95
As I mentioned earlier,https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=119.4
the first way of version control is to simply rename files or directories onhttps://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=120.57
your local computer and use version numbers.https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=124.8
02:07https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=127.92
This, of course, is error-prone because what happens when your kids delete a filehttps://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=127.92
or you write over the wrong file or delete a directory?https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=132.45
Big time bummer. So to combat these types of events,https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=136.5
early version control systemshttps://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=140.97
housed a database on your local computer that kept track of changes on fileshttps://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=142.71
under revision control.https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=148.08
02:29https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=149.52
This is also known as tracking. This local version control kept track of thehttps://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=149.52
changes between files. This is commonly called deltas.https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=154.83
The next problem that needed to be solved was collaborating with multiplehttps://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=158.55
developers, and this led to centralized version control.https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=161.64
02:46https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=166.41
This is where the database was housed on a server that all clients could accesshttps://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=166.41
and check out the latest snapshot of files and directories.https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=171.39
Both of those methods work fine,https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=175.77
but you’ve probably already figured out—because you’re smart—https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=177.87
there’s a potential fatal flaw.https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=180.94
03:03https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=183.76
If you lose the database because, say, the server crashes or the disks go bad,https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=183.76
03:09https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=189.94
all that work is probably unrecoverable. Distributed version control systems werehttps://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=189.94
then created to mitigate that risk of losing everything. In a distributed versionhttps://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=195.04
control system—we’ll now call them VCSs—https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=200.44
each client checks out a local copy of the repository,https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=203.86
including the changes.https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=207.82
03:29https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=209.95
Every clone is really a full backup,https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=209.95
so in the event of a server crash,https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=213.19
the client repositories can be pushed back up and restore the server.https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=215.86
In this onscreen example, we see just two computers, or nodes,https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=220.21
but there could be tens, hundreds,https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=223.81
even thousands in a distributed version control system. Git itself is ahttps://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=225.61
distributed version control system.https://realpython.com/courses/python-git-github-intro/discussion/#t=230.65
