Do Sh*t with Git

If you're completely or relatively new to programming, you will eventually need to learn Git basics in order to publish projects for the world to use, make backups of your code or even post your code publically and (hopefully) receive feedback.

Even if you do not plan to collaborate in any way shape or form - say, you're a completely independent engineer. You will still end up needing Git to ship your code, be it a web-application, mobile application or even a simple website.
