Concepts
Git
Git is a distributed version control system that allows for tracking and managing changes to text files. To understand why git is necessary take a look at: Why git?
Source Files

In this case, the source filed are used with hugo to generate this website.
Programmers use source code to compile programs, and the possibilities are endless.

Making Changes
The beauty of git is that you can use simple tools! If you prefer a simple text editor like notepad, or want to use a code-editor with built-in git features it's entirely up to you!
Staying up to date
Ensure you run git pull once in a while to make sure you have the latest changes.
Using Git
After you've made some changes, you'll want to keep track of them. A set of changes is called a commit. To create a commit you'll use your git tools, or using the terminal write git commit -m with a short message after a space. Some tools will automatically track files and stage the changes for you, if you're creating a new fille you'll want to make sure it's added to the commit with git add and then the filename both of these commands require a space before you add your message or file.
