"Git" is a program that allows you to keep track of all of the parts and what order you put them in and any modifications you made to any old parts. If you make a change that's a problem, or maybe 10 changes back there was a problem, or maybe there are 10 different people all working on the same program and dude #6 caused a problem 12 changes ago, git allows you to track all of the changes and if necessary, you can "reset" back to where you were.

Here! This'll clear it right up!


Thanks Steve, I was beginning to understand your explanation until you added the image.
Now I'm back to square one.
