In this course, we will be using CSE GitLab, a CSE-supported alternative to GitHub, which you may have heard of before. Every student in this course gets their personal repository (repo), in which all code and its history are stored. A VCS allows us to not only see changes from old code, but also revert back to older versions and manage many different team members contributing to a project at the same time.
Git is a version control system (VCS), a tool for tracking changes between versions of code and sharing those changes with other people.
