Git
Git is the version control software, allowing savepoints to be made when developing code
Version control is helpful when developing code, especially in a team, to help prevent developers working on outdated code
Committing Files
Committing files takes the staged files a step further, with a comment from you.
Essentially taking all elements from the staged area, and taking a permanent snapshot of the files.
Files must be staged before being ready to commit
To commit a file, type "git commit -m '(comment on changes made)'"
This will make no changes to the repository, however files are now ready to be pushed.
