- 4. Git: ● Git is a type of version control system (VCS) that makes it easier to track changes to files ● Tracks exactly what changed, who changed it, and why. ● Why? ○ Rather than starting a project from scratch, a developer can retrieve and change stored codes to maximize efficiency. GitHub: ● First of all, GitHub is not git. Many people understandably confuse the two. ● GitHub is a website for hosting projects that use git. ● Current users = 83 Million ● Expects 100 million software developers by 2025.

- 5. Open source: ● Software that can be freely used, modified, and shared by anyone. ● Open-source software code is freely downloadable and changeable. ● Freely sharing information so that it may be improved through multiple insights and viewpoints. Repository ● A repository (usually abbreviated to “repo”) is a location where all the files for a particular project are stored. ● Repos are folders which contain snapshots of progress (called “commits”) ● Imagine as a project's folder ○ A repository contains all the project files and stores each file's revision history. ● Currently over 100 million repositories!

- 6. Forking a Repo ● “Forking” is when you create a new project based off another project that already exists. ● If you find a project on GitHub that you’d like to contribute to, you can fork the repo, make the changes you’d like, and release the revised project as a new repo. ● If the original repository that you forked to create your new project gets updated, you can easily add those updates to your current fork ● This is an outstanding feature that vastly encourages the further development of programs and other projects. Commit ● A commit, or “revision”, is an individual change to a file. ● Every time you save, it creates a unique ID that allows you to keep record of what changes were made when and by whom. ● Commits usually contain a commit message, which is a brief description of what changes were made.

- 7. Pull Request ● AKA “merge request” ● When a contributor is ready to begin the process of merging new code changes with the main project repository ● Mechanism to notify team members that they have completed a feature ● It's called a pull request because you're asking the project to pull changes from your fork.
