Git From Zero - Version Control for People Who've Never Used It

Start from nothing: what version control is, how to install Git, make your first commit, and get your code on GitHub - calmly, with every step explained.

1. What Version Control Even Is (and Getting Git Installed) Version control is named save-points for your whole project; Git is the tool, GitHub is a website that hosts copies; install Git and tell it who you are.
2. Your First Repository - init, add, commit, log Make a project Git watches with init, then take your first snapshots: edit a file, git add it, git commit it, and see your history with git log - all offline.
3. Putting It on GitHub - remote, push, and clone Create a GitHub repo, connect it with git remote add, get past the authentication step that stumps beginners, push your commits up, and clone an existing repo down.
4. When the First Day Goes Sideways - Beginner Errors, Calmly Fixed The handful of errors that ambush every Git beginner - command not found, identity unknown, auth failed, rejected push, stuck in Vim - each with a calm one-line fix and why it happened.
