Introduction to Version Control:

1. Understanding the Concept of Version Control:

   • Version control is a system that allows you to track changes to files and code over time. It helps in recording and managing different versions of your project.

   • Students will learn why version control is essential, including benefits such as collaboration, tracking changes, and the ability to revert to previous states.

2. Differentiating Between Distributed and Centralized Version Control Systems:

   • This topic covers the distinction between centralized version control systems (e.g., SVN) and distributed version control systems (e.g., Git).

   • Students will understand the advantages of distributed systems, such as Git's ability to work offline and its decentralized nature.

Getting Started with Git:

1. Installing Git on Your Computer and Configuring Basic Settings:

   • Students will learn how to install Git on their local machines, whether it's Windows, macOS, or Linux.

   • Configuration involves setting up a name and email address, which will be associated with their Git commits.

2. Learning Fundamental Git Commands:

   • Students will become familiar with essential Git commands, such as:

     • git init: Initializing a Git repository.

     • git add: Staging changes for commit.

     • git commit: Recording changes with a commit message.

     • git log: Viewing commit history.

     • git status: Checking the status of files.
