This lesson

This lesson covers Git in one sentence as part of the Tools track.

Editors, terminals, and DevTools multiply the value of every language lesson on this site.

Daily development on macOS, Linux, and Windows—before you open a language track.

Install tools on your machine using the install section, try the steps locally, then confirm with MCQs.

Immediately after the previous lesson in this track.

Git records snapshots of your project over time so you can branch, merge, review, and ship changes safely with a team.

Why it matters before frameworks

Every Laravel, React, or Django repo assumes Git. Interviewers ask about commits, branches, and merge conflicts even for junior roles.

Next step

Take the full Git track after this Tools mini-track—five lessons here, deeper practice there.

Self-check

  1. How is Git different from GitHub?
  2. Name one problem Git solves that ZIP files do not.

Interview prep

Why do interviewers expect Git basics even for junior roles?

Almost all teams share code through commits and branches; without basics you cannot collaborate safely in a real repo.

ZIP + email vs Git—one sentence?

Git tracks history and merges explicitly; ZIPs fork silently and cannot coordinate concurrent changes.
