Theory: Version Control

Imagine writing an essay and saving it as essay_final.txt, then essay_final_v2.txt, then essay_really_final.txt.

Git solves this problem for code. It is a Version Control System (VCS) that tracks changes, allows you to revert to previous versions, and helps multiple developers work on the same project simultaneously without overwriting each other's work.
