Many people I know confuse Git with Github, and probably don't have a good idea of what version control is. I guess, half the trouble with lies in the steep learning curve, not to mention how new and bizzare some concepts are. I've had my own million doubts before using Git and never knew where to start. Even if I did start, I'd have had given up on the second day not understanding why certain thing is the way it is.
This post is just for that, to de-mistify what a good tool Git is and how easy it is to integrate into the workflow and, really, master version controlling with only a handful of commands. I hope the days of copy-pasting a file in the name of 'backup' are a days of the past.
