Git is an industry-standard tool used for collaboration within teams. We teach it quite early on in our course because without it you will be fairly useless as a professional developer. It’s important. The Git book (below) has a better introduction.
You don’t need to know absolutely everything about Git to start using it. We keep our Git repositories on Github. Don’t worry about the server setup stuff.
The first three chapters will serve you well initially: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2
As you progress through, you will have to write a lot of code. Your code will be submitted to us for review in the form of a Git repository. You will be expected to be comfortable using git from the command line.
We use Github for keeping our code safe. Here is a little intro and here is the official cheat sheet.
