You can decide, wich moments in time are saved \u2013 those snapshots of the repository are called \u201ccommits\u201d. You can send those commits to a server (it\u2019s called \u201cpushing\u201d), so that other people can download them (\u201dpull\u201d) and collaborate and your project (plus the server works as a backup of your data). If you ever want to revert your repository to how it looked like some time ago, or to see how it changed over time, or who wrote a particular line in a file, etc. etc., Git offers you all of that.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Ch3\u003EWhy should I care?\u003C\/h3\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EDid you notice, how I didn\u2019t use the word \u201ccode\u201d anywhere in the above definition? That\u2019s because Git isn\u2019t about code or programming. Yes, it was created to help with development of the Linux Kernel, but it really doesn\u2019t care what kind of files it handles.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EAre you a graphic designer, tired of keeping all those files like \u003Ccode\u003Eproject.psd\u003C\/code\u003E, \u003Ccode\u003Efinal.psd\u003C\/code\u003E, \u003Ccode\u003Efinal2.psd\u003C\/code\u003E, \u003Ccode\u003Efinal2-FINAL.psd\u003C\/code\u003E, because the client might change their opinion one more time and basically ask you to redo your first project once again? Then Git will help you!\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EAre you a writer, wanting to make a major change in your book, but afraid it will not work out fine, so you\u2019d like to be able to quickly revert that change? Yup, Git is for you!\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EAre you a person, who wants to track how their CV changed over time, without keeping all the versions as separate files?

You can decide, wich moments in time are saved \u2013 those snapshots of the repository are called \u201ccommits\u201d. You can send those commits to a server (it\u2019s called \u201cpushing\u201d), so that other people can download them (\u201dpull\u201d) and collaborate and your project (plus the server works as a backup of your data). If you ever want to revert your repository to how it looked like some time ago, or to see how it changed over time, or who wrote a particular line in a file, etc. etc., Git offers you all of that.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Ch3\u003EWhy should I care?\u003C\/h3\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EDid you notice, how I didn\u2019t use the word \u201ccode\u201d anywhere in the above definition? That\u2019s because Git isn\u2019t about code or programming. Yes, it was created to help with development of the Linux Kernel, but it really doesn\u2019t care what kind of files it handles.\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EAre you a graphic designer, tired of keeping all those files like \u003Ccode\u003Eproject.psd\u003C\/code\u003E, \u003Ccode\u003Efinal.psd\u003C\/code\u003E, \u003Ccode\u003Efinal2.psd\u003C\/code\u003E, \u003Ccode\u003Efinal2-FINAL.psd\u003C\/code\u003E, because the client might change their opinion one more time and basically ask you to redo your first project once again? Then Git will help you!\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EAre you a writer, wanting to make a major change in your book, but afraid it will not work out fine, so you\u2019d like to be able to quickly revert that change? Yup, Git is for you!\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EAre you a person, who wants to track how their CV changed over time, without keeping all the versions as separate files? Just use Git!\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EDo you want to collaborate on \u003Cem\u003Esomething\u003C\/em\u003E with your friends, without sending email attachments back and forth or worrying if everyone has the newest version? Git might be exactly what you need!\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Ch3\u003EHow do I learn it?\u003C\/h3\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EWell, not here, this is not a tutorial.
