Hopefully, the fact that you are reading this chapter means that you already acknowledge the importance of the process of version control in software development and in programming in general. If you want to learn the specific options and features, PyCharm offers to assist users during the process of version control, specifically with Git. Feel free to skip to the next section, which is going to be more hands-on.
If, however, you'd like to learn more generally about the process and the details about Git and GitHub, stick around, as this section will provide that information, which will be essential as we move forward with the topic of this chapter.
