Web developers need to learn Git and Github. That is a no brainer.
There are also good reasons for others working in the web to start learning how to use Github.
Why Use Git and Github?
- It is a fantastic way to collaborate on web projects.
- You’ll always have a backup what you are working on and will never loose previous versions of your work.
- You’ll grow faster by being able to leverage code written by others to build your own projects.
Getting Started With Git
My advice to you is to use VSCode with Github as is makes it easier to work projects and commit to Github without remembering all the commands.
It is good to learn those commands anyway to understand better how to use version control.
Become a Git Master
Although very powerful, Git is very complex. I highly recommend that you follow Datacamp’s Git course to really become comfortable with Git commands and avoid painful mistakes.

Why Use Git and Version Control
Git version control is used by organizations to improve collaboration and keep track of different versions of code. Machine learning engineers, data scientists, web developers, software engineers and even marketers thus use version control to maintain their projects.
Git in Data Science and Machine Learning
Git is a must have tool in Data Science to keep track of code changes. However, it also comes with its set of challenges. Git can’t store comprehensive machine learning model details, making it challenging to manage and compare experiment results. Also, relying on Git for experiment logging requires manual documentation maintenance, whereas an ideal approach would involve self-logging experiments that capture all relevant information.
