WEBVTT 00:01.920 --> 00:08.160 When we're working on code, whether it is just us or an entire team, it is super important to keep 00:08.200 --> 00:09.960 track of the changes we make. 00:10.360 --> 00:16.160 And this is where git and version control come in, especially when coding the. 00:16.160 --> 00:21.560 I might generate code that doesn't work or can even break the application entirely. 00:21.800 --> 00:25.320 And it can be difficult to revert to a previous version. 00:25.560 --> 00:31.960 With git, we can easily roll back to a previous version that did work without losing anything. 00:32.720 --> 00:33.720 So how does it work? 00:33.720 --> 00:40.200 Every time we make progress and have a state that is working and that we're happy with it, we can commit 00:40.200 --> 00:45.560 the changes so that we have a record of how the code looked like at that point in time. 00:45.800 --> 00:48.200 And I'm going to show you it is relatively easy. 00:48.400 --> 00:53.400 The first thing that we need to do is conversion this project with git. 00:53.440 --> 00:58.320 So all you need to do is instruct the agent to add git to this project. 00:59.200 --> 01:02.840 So the agent will interact with the git CLI tool. 01:02.840 --> 01:06.320 You're going to see here that we are being asked to run this command. 01:06.560 --> 01:09.320 Git init is going to initialize a git repository. 01:09.800 --> 01:14.710 It's going to create also a git ignore file, which is super important because there are some files 01:14.710 --> 01:17.390 that we definitely do not want to store under git. 01:17.470 --> 01:21.150 For example, we have here the dependencies in the node modules. 01:21.270 --> 01:24.830 There can also be other files that we don't want to have there. 01:25.350 --> 01:26.510 We can take a look here at. 01:26.550 --> 01:29.590 Gitignore file we're going to see here what has been added to it. 01:29.910 --> 01:31.590 Quite a few files here. 01:31.590 --> 01:33.510 We're going to click here on accept. 01:34.430 --> 01:37.670 Now the next part is staging the files. 01:37.710 --> 01:41.910 Now we definitely do want to have a look at everything that is inside here. 01:41.910 --> 01:45.550 For example there's still this temp vite project that I have here. 01:45.550 --> 01:48.350 And this is something that I no longer want to have inside. 01:48.510 --> 01:51.190 So I'm going to go ahead and delete this project. 01:51.190 --> 01:55.150 I also want to make sure that I'm not committing any changes that shouldn't be there. 01:55.390 --> 01:57.230 The rest of them look quite okay. 01:57.230 --> 02:03.430 So I'm gonna stage the files, which simply means that we are adding these files to a secondary stage 02:03.430 --> 02:08.110 where we're preparing to commit them, and then we're going to create the initial commit. 02:08.550 --> 02:10.670 And this commit is going to get a message. 02:10.670 --> 02:13.910 This is something that the agent is doing automatically for us. 02:13.950 --> 02:19.630 It's going to provide a nice message explaining what we have done with this particular change. 02:20.790 --> 02:22.710 So it has been initialized a. 02:22.750 --> 02:24.510 Gitignore file has been created. 02:24.510 --> 02:27.650 So now we have this these particular changes here. 02:28.250 --> 02:30.730 Now, there's one important thing I want to point out. 02:30.730 --> 02:36.570 You're going to see that whenever the agent is making changes to a specific file, you're going to get 02:36.610 --> 02:39.930 here this prompt accept file or reject file. 02:39.970 --> 02:42.970 And you're going to also see here accept or reject. 02:43.530 --> 02:45.290 This is independent of git. 02:45.290 --> 02:49.130 And this is a way of reverting recent changes that I made. 02:49.410 --> 02:50.930 This is still an important feature. 02:50.930 --> 02:54.570 And it's kind of like a quick way to revert to something that was working. 02:54.570 --> 02:57.410 But sometimes you can make a lot of changes. 02:57.410 --> 02:59.810 You can even accept the changes that I made. 03:00.050 --> 03:04.850 And this is when actually git can be an interesting backup. 03:05.010 --> 03:09.250 So we can go over the individual files and see exactly what has changed here. 03:09.250 --> 03:12.210 So we can see what are the changes in this file. 03:12.250 --> 03:14.130 So here we're going to get a prompt. 03:14.130 --> 03:15.450 Something has been removed. 03:15.450 --> 03:17.730 This is why it is in red. 03:18.090 --> 03:20.050 And we can accept this particular change. 03:20.090 --> 03:25.810 Or we can accept the entire file or we can accept everything if there are multiple files that have been 03:25.810 --> 03:26.330 changed. 03:26.650 --> 03:35.050 Just keep in mind git and this version control of accepting or rejecting files from cursor are slightly 03:35.050 --> 03:37.570 different, but they're all very, very helpful.
