General Coding: High Level Git info

Discussion about VCS (Version Control Systems) like GIT.

Quick run through of what it is, who made it, why you'd want to use it, how to add/commit files.

This is not a comprehensive video, I've liked more in-depth higher level videos for those that want the details.

Also, don't forget to include a .gitignore file with your code so you don't check in COMPILED files.

I am NOT sponsored. I am not looking for sponsors. I am not trying to get income from this video. Enjoy, make your own better videos, learn, help others.

General workflow of using git:
1. git clone yourrepo.git
- If you already have the repository cloned, you need to download the changes with: git pull
* NOTE: Make sure you are ON the main branch, or branch you want to update when doing this
2. git checkout -b "your-new-branch-name"
3. make your changes to files
4. git add filename.cs
- alternative to all ALL changes, git add .
5. git commit -m "i changed the file"
6. git push
