I used to think Git was just for saving files to a cloud server. It wasn't until I worked on a team of developers that I recognized how valuable other features of Git, like branching, were. The concept is simple, git branches basically allow you to "branch" off from one point in your project's history to fix a bug, create a new feature, or just explore a new idea. This won't affect the "main" branch of the project until this branch is "merged" back into the "main" branch.
How easy it to set up a Git repository? It's as easy as 1, 2, 3...4!
`git init`
`git add .`
`git commit -m "Initial commit\!"`
`git push`
Okay okay, maybe there's a couple other steps here and there, but it's not that hard to get started saving your files to a Git repository! If you haven't taken the time to learn the basics of `git`, take an hour or two, you'll likely be using it for the rest of your software development career.
