KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Version Control Systems: Essential for collaborative software development, allowing teams to manage and track changes to their codebase.
• Git vs SVN: Git uses a local repository before pushing changes, enabling developers to work on incomplete features privately; SVN saves directly to the central repository.
• Using GitHub:
  • Create an account and repository.
  • Install a local Git client (e.g., 'Git for Windows').
  • Clone the repository locally using git clone.
  • Add files to version control using git add .
  • Commit changes with a descriptive message using git commit.
  • Push committed changes to the remote server using git push.
