It’s a way to track changes to your code as you develop it. Git is an SCM, which is Software Configuration Management. Honestly, I had little clue as to what Git was even just a few weeks before writing this article. So, one thing I really like about Visual Studio Code is it’s native support for Git. So, first things first – if you don’t already have them installed go get Visual Studio Code and Git, install them both and come back… Also, get yourself a Github account if you don’t already have one. In this post I’ll go through the detailed steps of configuring Visual Studio Code to work with Git and Github to keep track of your code. For me the default color scheme is easy on the eyes when I’m working, the contextual highlights bring my attention to something when it’s not correct, and it integrates with Github out of the box as well, although some assembly is required.

I’m using to develop/learn PowerShell, Power CLI, and Python.
