This tutorial is meant to help you with revision control of your own or your team's code. Though multiple revision control tools do exist we will focus here on Git, which is free and open-source. In particular, these tutorials will often show the usage of Git with GitHub, which is one of the most common implementations of Git. Nevertheless, the tutorials will always make a clear distinction between Git in general and one of its implementations.
Many tutorials do already exist and GitHub has an interactive section, where you can practice and learn new skills directly within the GitHub interface. When appropriate, we will link to those interactive tutorials in the different sections.
