Git & GitHub Zero to Hero

AI generates code incredibly fast - but it also breaks things. Git is your time machine.

Why Git?

Three critical reasons for every developer:

  1. Unlimited undo button: AI breaks your code? Restore to 5 minutes ago with one click.
  2. Free cloud backup: Push to GitHub - even if your laptop dies, your code is safe.
  3. Professional credibility: A well-maintained GitHub profile proves you are a serious developer.

Git vs GitHub

  • Git: A time machine camera on your computer (takes snapshots)
  • GitHub: An online photo album for those snapshots (cloud backup)

The Three-Step Git Workflow

  1. Stage: Tell Git which files to save
  2. Commit: Take a snapshot with a description
  3. Push: Upload snapshots to GitHub cloud
