#100DaysOfCode Day 0: Git and Github
I’ve always wanted to fully learn and comprehend how to use Git and Github, before starting the challenge I decided to focus on taking a course on them that was available in Udacity. I just finished the Git part today, tomorrow I will move on to Github.

I came across some problems when merging two branches, as I got an error that said fatal: Not possible to fast-forward, aborting. I was not able to find out where the error was coming as it seems it was an error that was not that frequent (indicated by the low amount of questions in StackOverflow related to the topic).
By reading the style guide I learnt how to properly format a commit as before I would only write a small description. I understood as well how often I should be committing, I noticed that in most of my projects I would only commit once when uploading it to Github.
Overall it seems easy to use, the only difficult part seems the timeline as sometimes it may get complicated when dealing with different branches. I will now focus on learning how to collaborate using Github as I’ve been keen to contribute to other people’s code but never knew how to do it properly.
