GitHub

I don’t fully understand, but now I have a GitHub, and not only that, I use it!

For those who’d don’t know what GitHub is, it’s a repository for code. It’s got a few purposes; it’s a portfolio, you can see what other people have done, and you can store the various iterations of your code without fear of it being lost.

This comes in super handy when you have built something that works, but you want to tinker with it to make it better. However, all it takes is a rogue semi-colon for the whole thing to break. By saving (or pushing) it to GitHub, then even if you completely screw it up, you can always return to the original, working code. It’s helpful.
