I say i'm into computers and programming but I don't understand most of the lingo or other things that are commonly used
exhibit a: what the heck is a git
@SteelWool git is a version management system. Think of it as a diary for your code. GitHub for example, is the Twitter for your code. You use the git system to keep track of your code and all the changes that happen to it, which is really neat.
@MySpaceEmoCat @SteelWool i hate "GitHub is Twitter for code" so much and yet i cannot argue with it
should point out, you don't HAVE to use GitHub to use Git; you can absolutely make a local repository and never push it anywhere
@theryusui @SteelWool Yup. You can just as well use a plethora of any other hosted solutions. I just figured I'd mention GitHub since people usually namedrop it whenever they talk about git too.
