Becoming An expert with Git&Github Series 1

what is & why should i learn Git and Github

As developer whether frontend or backend or whatever you major in being able to use Git can make you work effficient and makes you look more professional and job Ready. i made the title Git and Github the two are two different thing that comes together to work together.

Then, the question comes in what is Git? And what is Github? let take the two separately let start with Git it is a version control tools or a supervisors that enables us to monitor how we are progressing with the building of our application. let me make it more clear let say a frontend developer want to work on a project he started out by creating a root folder then added the html, and css file to it then later he remembered that he needs to add js script file . Immediately he adds the file we can then go to git and ask git what file as being added by using git commands.

Before i move further i will like to explain what is git commands they are specialise key word or syntax that enables us communicate with git. it is usually written in this form . the keyword git comes first while the command comes second the command word up there is just a place holder for various command that comes with git .for example to ask git what are the changes that have happen to our application lately we just need to enter the command

git status download.png Some text will then comeup showing text as it is in the image above the word modified written in red is telling us in what files has changes occured in . We will go deeper into git command in later series

Then the second question What is github it is a platform that offer the service of enabling developer to stores their code on a remote computer provided by github or a platform that enbles developer store their code in the cloud . With these developers around the world can then collaborate and work on the same project.
