Guided: Git Basics

In this Guided Code Lab, you will learn the essentials of using Git, a distributed version control system that's an industry standard for managing changes to code. You will practice Git commands by working with a Python game called Pywords. During the lab, you'll initialize a new Git repository, track changes, commit them, and simulate collaborating with other developers by pushing updates.
