Episode 5: Save Points for Code
from SWE – Software Engineering for the Rest of Us
Mia and Leo explain Git through a photo album for your code: commits as labeled snapshots, diffs as side-by-side comparisons, reverting as time travel to a working version, and why every project needs version control instead of folders named final-final. What's the difference between Git and GitHub, and where does the photo album analogy break? Plus a teaser for branches and pull requests.
