What is version control? Version control is a system that remembers changes to a file that are called versions, and allows you to recall those older files. I think that this is similar to Ctrl z in that it calls back a old version of what you were creating before you changed it. What is it good for? I believe that this is good for retrieving older files just in case the newer changes you made caused problems with the file or you wish to rewrite from where you last left off. So, instead of having to redo something that you messed up, you can just revert back to a slightly outdated file that can be built off from again. Why will we use it in this class? I think that we will be using this in class because it allows us to fix problems we encounter when creating files that will help us correct them, as well as to save loads of time by reverting back to an old "save" rather than having to restart.
