Lab Session 1: Git Fundamentals

Computer
A computer is any device capable of performing calculations, whether they are
logical or mathematical.

Program/Code
A program (or code) is a set of instructions, often organised as an algorithm, that
directs a computer to perform a speci c task.

Need for Managing Source Code

Modern applications, such as Spotify, consist of multiple programs working
together on both the frontend and backend to deliver a smooth user experience.
Regular updates are essential for:
• Fixing Bugs: Quickly resolving errors that may occur.
• Improving UI/UX: Enhancing the user interface and overall experience.
• Optimising Performance: Addressing and re ning issues for better
performance.
For programmers, e ective management of source code is crucial because:
• It ensures that all les remain in context throughout the lifecycle of the
program.
• It facilitates collaboration, allowing multiple developers to work together on a
shared codebase.

Tools for Source Code Management

1. Git:
A version control system that runs locally on your computer. Git helps track
changes and manage versions of your project.
2. GitHub:
A global, cloud-based platform that hosts Git repositories, enabling
developers to share, collaborate, and contribute to projects from anywhere in
the world.

Version
A version in version control represents a snapshot of your project at a speci c
moment in time. This snapshot allows you to review, revert, or compare changes
made throughout the development process.

branch to another branch. Here we want to create a new
branch from a particular commit

Page 26
