GIT COMMANDS
Why Git?
Git is a distributed version-control system for tracking changes in source code during software development.
It is designed for coordinating work among programmers, but it can be used to track changes — in any set of files.
Its goals include speed, data integrity, and support for distributed, non-linear workflows.
