#A Beginners Guide to Git

##Why Use A Version Control System? (VSC) 
**Git** is a *Version Contol System*, which is a system that allows you to save your work along various points of making changes in your document, saving each version as its own entity.

##Git Commands

    julianenochs~/notes$ git init
    Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/julianenochs/notes/.git/
*git status - see what git is tracking and the status of its files
*git add - add your file to the staging area
*git commit - take a snapshot of your work at this time
*git diff - show the difference in work from the last commit
