Introduction

Now we can (safely!) make changes to code without destroying something that’s already working using version control. While using version control to manage our own projects on our own machine is useful, it’s not the only way that we can use version control. Most of the time we actually want to use version control with remotes; interacting with repositories that primarily live on remote systems.

We’re going to keep looking at version control this week, but we’re going to switch to including our web browser as a tool for interacting with our repositories.

Part of what we’re doing to do with this version control software is begin to take a look at how we can manage projects: how can we organize the things that we need to do for a project, how can we plan out how we’re going to do a project, and how do we work together with other people on a project?

Finally, since we’re starting to look at how we can work together, we also need to spend some time looking at how much collaboration is acceptable when you’re working on labs and assignments for your courses in computer science.
