Using Git

"Git is a version-control system for tracking changes in computer files and coordinating work on those files among multiple people." (Wikipedia)

I believe that you have heard Github sometime in your life. Yes, Github is one hosting service that uses Git.

But, we are fancy people.

We are using Gitlab. Gitlab is also a hosting service. Don't get confused of those two companies.

In this tutorial, I am going to introduce Github Desktop. Yes, Github Desktop can be used for Gitlab.

Alternatively, you can use Git command.

1. Create an account on Gitlab.

2. Join the repository (See programming lead)

3. Download Github Desktop (https://desktop.github.com/)

4. File > Clone a repository. Copy the url of the current year repository. It might ask for your login information if it is a private repository.

5. Done!

6. Find the repository folder at C:\Users\(your username)\Documents\GitHub

Fetch origin and pull before you do work.
Copy everything from Github folder to your VSCode workspace folder
