# Setting up Git
|
||||||
|
Git comes pre-installed on Linux systems, but not Windows. Thus, you'll have to install it manually.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It comes in a couple flavors, my favorite being the terminal, but we'll stick to UI for now so it's easier to tell what's going on.

Tutorial for setting up and using version-control software.

## What is Git?
|
||||||
|
Git is a version-control tool used to track files and sync them across computers.
|
||||||
|
Git is handy because it keeps backups of project files over time, both on the cloud and on your system.
|
||||||
|
If you make breaking changes but don't realize until after you did some other stuff, you can simply revert only the breaking changes, while leaving other things unaffected.
|
||||||
|
If your hard-drive crashses and you lose all your files, they're still backed up on the server. Even if the server *also* crashes, anyone else working on the project will still have the entire project history stored on their machine, which can then be pushed to a different Git server to continue collaboration.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Note that ***these benefits only apply if you're properly utilizing Git***, hence this tutorial.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Git is primarily used to allow for code-collaboration between peers.
|
||||||
|
This means it works with text files, and can track changes to individual lines of text, allowing users to see what changed across periods of time.
|
||||||
|
However, Git can be extended to work with larger, binary-format files like images, meshes, and other things. Enter Git LFS (Large File System).
|
||||||
|
We'll be using this system to store larger files on the cloud, like Blender files, textures, and Unreal Blueprints.
