As this tutorial is meant to be designed for beginners, I am not going too deep into this topic rather I will explain the easy way to use "Git".
Git will help you to monitor your project, You can check what changes you have done in your project when & why?

Git is :
FAST
SECURE

Create a project in your favourite IDE or Editor, open that folder in terminal and follow the command given below.
# initialize an empty git repository inside your project
git init
# Add your files to the git repository {filename = it is the name your file if onle single file is available in your project}
git add filename
# or use dot (.) if you have multiple files and folder in your project.
