what version should we be using for the class?

When I checked with git --version, I noticed my git account only shows up when I’ve got a remote SSH connection open. If I’m just using the terminal on my computer, or VSCode without an SHH connection, git --version gives an error. Is it okay to access git through SSH, or should I also install it on my laptop?

Can we go over what the staging area is and why it's important again? Is the staging area sitting on your computer in an actual folder somewhere or is it more of an analogy?

If you have to make changes to files in your staging area, do you have to delete the old version first and then re-add it to the staging area?

I know that in GitHub when people are working on different branches and they need to combine them together there can be different conflicts that occur because the code is different, how should those merging conflicts be resolved?


N/A. This reading is fairly manageable.
