Git

Github is a popular code hosting site that allows for easy collaboration. If you haven't yet chosen a version control service, we would reccomend using Github. Github uses git to keep version control, and hosts repositories that multiple people can work on at the same time. For more information about using Github, Git, and any other information check out github's website or check out their help page. Also, if you would like a quick cheat sheet for Git commands to use with Github, check out this useful page that explains Git commands: https://training.github.com/kit/downloads/github-git-cheat-sheet.pdf
