January 09, 2023 - Introduction to Version Control

What is the difference between Git and GitHub? - Git is a version controll system that works with or without the use of a network by tracking changes made to a document as opposed to creating countless copies. GitHub is a seperate web-based interface for using and sharing Git files across a network, enabling multiple users to collaborate simultaneously or a single user to work seamlessly across devices.

Version Control Systems are typically structured in one of two ways: Centralized, Which enables users to temporarily borrow files from a server before sending them back, and Distributed, which stores files on a local drive and on a server simultaneously.

Visual Studio Code uses a three color system to track changes to a file. Green signifies additions, Blue signifies changes, and Red signifies deletion.

There are also a number of useful commands that can be used in VSC. Shift + cmd + P Opens the Command Pallete. Shift + cmd + X Opens te Extensions Tab.

Finally, I got an 8/9 on the LinkedInLeanring quiz at the end of the lesson.
