I would love if you would increase the vertical size of your video slightly so I can appreciate the full scope of your pope hat. Also thanks for sharing this :)

This is something I have wanted to do in general with my projects. I used to work on smaller projects and didn't care if I lost everything. Now my projects take years and losing everything would suck lol. So, thanks a lot of running us through this!

[@NoahNCopeland]

You say there's been a lot of videos on this already, but I have not found a video as plain and clear on the subject as this one! This is great. Thank you for posting.

Oh man was this video helpful! Thanks Pixelatd Pope!

[@MittensTheHero]

Great video! Excited for more

[@RistrayGR]

Loving the hat. Hope it sticks around for all the other videos. Turns out I never did an initial commit for one of the games I'm vaguely sorta maybe working on so now there's just everything in it all at once. Debating about restarting just so that all the commits are centered around a specific thing being added or worked on.

Hey Pope, once you commit a change in source copy, is there a way to automatically upload an archived version of the project (with that change) to GitHub? .. sorry if I missed this

[@uglycoal]

Committing is more or less local, once you press Push button in GUI git software or push through a command in CLI, it will send everything to GitHub.

Hacked i guess

[@GouShin1]

I just use github desktop and haven't had any issues, just works

[@BrentBruthaa]

Thanks so much for this! I'm really grateful that you made this tutorial so simple and easy to follow.

[@ShaolinMonkster]

Im so hyped for this series. Good job

What the hell is source control does that mean that I need to restart my project? You could at least put a description of what this is.

[@nicktheslayer95]

Source control is the method by which you back up your project so that if you lose your project files or your entire PC, you don't actually lose your work. I think he did an alright job of explaining how to set it up, but there are other tutorials as well. You don't need to restart your project, you can back your current project up as it is and feel confident that your computer can be stolen or destroyed and your progress is still saved.

[@Mightyjordy]

Hi there, might want to tone down the question a bit. He explains source control a bit at the beginning, but it stores versions of the game that you can revert back to if you ever need it.

@@Mightyjordy Oh I guess i just suck at learning things my bad.
