git for Data Science Made Simple... (Hopefully)

In this video I give a high level overview of git and github for data science. I talk about what git is, why it's important, and I also go through the general workflow of a data science project using git.

At the most basic level, git is a version control system. It also allows us to work on things simultaneously with our teammates without messing anything up. To be honest, it has revolutionized project management and process control.

Git lets us track our changes and revert back to previous versions as well.
