Day 8: Git - Your Project's Time Machine

Git tracks every change you make. It's like 'Track Changes' for your entire project, but way more powerful. Every professional project uses Git. Today, you'll initialize your first repository.

Today's Tasks

  1. 1Navigate to your `cc30` folder
  2. 2Ask Claude Code to initialize a Git repository
  3. 3Make your first commit with all your existing files
  4. 4Understand what just happened

Prompt to Use

Initialize a Git repository in this folder. Then create my first commit with all the files I've created so far. Explain each step as you do it - I want to understand what Git is doing.

Expected Outcome

A Git repository with your first commit.

Pro Tip

A commit is like a save point with a note attached. Make the note descriptive - "Added goals" is better than "update".

Coming Tomorrow

We'll learn about commit messages and viewing history.
