Learning the basics of the distributed version control system Git

Using a version control system is an absolute requirement in programming and research. This is the tool that makes it just about impossible to lose one's work. In this recipe, we will cover the basics of Git.

Getting ready

Notable distributed version control systems include Git, Mercurial, and Bazaar, among others. In this chapter, we will use the popular Git system. You can download the Git program and Git GUI clients from http://git-scm.com.
