Why it matters for an FDE

Git helps you work safely with code and collaborate with a team. Python is a readable programming language often used for scripts and integrations.

The idea

Think of Git as checkpoints in a journey. If a new change causes trouble, you can inspect earlier checkpoints. In Python, a variable is a labeled box that holds a value for your program to use.

Worked example

In Python, customer = "Asha" stores text in a variable named customer. A Git commit can capture that script together with a short message such as “Add customer greeting.”

Common mistakes

  • Saving a commit message that says nothing useful, such as “stuff”.
  • Changing many unrelated files in one checkpoint.
  • Expecting Git to automatically understand whether code is correct.
