Git again!

Things I learned from today’s session.

Alex did a great job defining differences between Git and GitHub.
Git is the tool that manages the source code and history of changes.
GitHub is the service that hosts repositories – it is the cloud.
Notepad++ is a good text editor for Windows and Alex recommends Textwrangler for Macs.
Good practice involves naming each commit as it is important to track changes and understand why you made the changes.
