LESSON 1 REFLECTIONS
________________________________________________________________________________
Q: How did viewing a diff between two versions of a file help you see the bug
   that was introduced?

A: It made it a lot easier, because it showed every change and there was no need
   the whole document to be looked at.
________________________________________________________________________________
Q: How could having easy access to the entire history of a file make you a more
   efficient programmer in the long term?

A: By having the access to all the versions I am able to see the changes made 
   (and sometimes even the reasons behind those changes). This information can
   guide me in taking some important decisions and also help me when I am 
   searching for and fixing a bug.
________________________________________________________________________________
Q: What do you think are the pros and cons of manually choosing when to create a
   commit, like you do in Git, vs having versions automatically saved, like
   Google Docs does?

A: Manually choosing when to commit makes commits(version saves) more meaningful,
while autosaving makes things a bit easier.
________________________________________________________________________________
Q: Why do you think some version control systems, like Git, allow saving
   multiple files in one commit, while others, like Google Docs, treat each file
   separately?

A: Because in some cases it way usefull to save multiple files in one commit
(like when the files have some connection with each other), while sometimes it is
better(if the files are not connected) to treat each file separately.
________________________________________________________________________________
Q: How can you use the commands git log and git diff to view the history of
   files?

A: git log shows all the commits and git diff compares 2 commits and shows the
lines added and deleted so I can see the changes made
________________________________________________________________________________
Q: How might using version control make you more confident to make changes that
   could break something?

A: By having the ability to go back to previous commits, my confidence to make
more changes and take risk rises. I can also check the diffrence between commits
to find bugs.
________________________________________________________________________________
Q: Now that you have your workspace set up, what do you want to try using Git
   for?

A: I want to make my own repos and commit in them and merge and etc.
