This lesson is for the first day of the MSSE Bootcamp.

to make a commit ("version" or "checkpoint") of your files, follow this procedure:

1. Make change to your project that you would like to keep.
2. Tell git you are ready to create a checkpoint fo your files.
3. Creaste a checkpoint using git commit -m "message about what you did"

Adding features

It is a good idea to make different branches to apply certain updates or features of your program to log different points. Features should be developed on branches. To create and swtich to a branch, use: git switch -c new_branch_name

-c means "create".

To swtich to an existing branch, use: git switch branch_name
