Conclusion and next steps

This concludes the introductory part of the course. We have learned the basics of version control and are now ready to start using Git. In the next part, we will learn how to install Git and set up a repository. But before that...

Quiz time!

There are no bad answers here! Every option hides some extra insight about version control. You'll be able to see all explanations even after submitting the answer.

1/8: What is the main purpose of version control?

2/8: Which of these is NOT a benefit of using version control?

3/8: Who created Git?

5/8: What happens when you commit changes in Git?

Great work! Now that we have somewhat refreshed our memory, let's move on to the next part of the course where we will learn how to install and configure Git.

Next step

This is a web demo of GitByBit, the one-of-a-kind course integrated into the VS Code editor. Learning directly in VS Code lets you practice Git exactly as you would in real life, doing real work and writing real code.

In addition, the course connects to your actual terminal, so it can point out mistakes and suggest workarounds when you need them.

The course is FREE, with no ads or other nonsense. An optional premium add-on focused on teamwork is available if you'd like to support my work (regrettably, I have to eat every day), but that's entirely up to you.
