1.10 Next Steps
We’ve taken a 30,000-foot view of the DVCS world and the way Git interacts with it. We’ve covered what repositories are, determined what we should store (nearly everything!), and talked about what working trees are. You learned how files are tracked and how repositories stay in sync, and you got an introduction to tags, branches, and the art of merging. That gives you a basic understanding of how Git works and what a DVCS is. Up next, we’ll dive into installing and configuring Git.
