In this video, we will see an example of how to use the Git versioning system in an Ignition context. A versioning system allows you to track changes to files and folders over time and allows you to view the changes and restore your project to those changes if you wish to. This could speed up development for many Ignition programmers. Do with this knowledge what you will :)

Here are the commands we used:
`git status` - view the git status of the directory
`git add .` - add changes to the staging area
`git commit -am "commit message here"` - create a snapshot of repository
`git push` - push to the master branch in Github

I apologize for saying that the https://git-scm.com/downloads download was optional... It is the local component to the Git system that allows changes in files to be detected and tracked. I am quite stressed about a deadline on a current project, as is probably obvious.


Thank you for watching and for continuing to support this community! Please reach out if you have questions, either in the comments or on Discord. I hope these videos provide value to the viewer in some way.
