Summary


We have learned:

  • The difference between files' content

  • How powerful Git can be on textual files

Additionally, we have also learned how to merge and manage conflicts occurring while merging.

Not only that, we did a role play and practically learned how to set up a collaborative work environment with multiple people working on the same file, topic, and even the same line. We also learned how to integrate work from different people together to form one output.
