Working with GIT (Version Control System)

Today I will offer some details about my experience with "GIT", which has been a learning curve to say the least. In my testing encounter I was given the task to clone a repo (repository) using the following command syntax: --> as an example git clone git://nurburgring.senecac.on.ca/game --> Next, I changed into the directory (game)
Then ran the command git checkout  -b <myusername> to add a branch
Next, I accessed the file specified, using nano <file> entered some data, then Save and Exited the file.
To add content to the file index, I employed the command  git add <specify filename>
To commit to the previous editing actions taken, the commit command was executed  --> usage: git  commit (which did its job).

To pull another branch command usage:
git  origin  <branchname> was effectively able to accomplish that step requirement.

In conclusion my experience working with "GIT" was very insightful, considering it was my first intro to this unique Open Source content tracker. I can easily say that there is still a lot to learn about this program, and I hope to delve into gaining a more in-depth knowledge of its various capabilities in the immediate future.
