Version management

Why use version management? Because it's nice to be able to undo changes to your work. When you have a past version saved there's much less anxiety about making big changes. When you want to collaborate it helps a lot to be able to keep track of what's going on. Knowing what's changed and when is really helpful when you're managing code.

Why git? Because I already know a little, okay?
