Git Commands

This Gist contains all the useful commands for Git

Version control is a system that records changes to a file or set of files over time so that you can recall specific versions later.

If you are a developer and want to keep every version of your code/project (which you would most certainly want to), a Version Control System (VCS) is a very wise thing to use.
