 ### Git
 Git is a distributed version control system. This is how our code is stored and managed. Git can be frustrating, but it is an essential tool. If you want to learn more about Git, a great resource is [Think Like a Git](http://think-like-a-git.net/). If you find yourself in a real git pickle, see ["Oh, shit, git!"](http://ohshitgit.com/). If you have already installed Git as a part of the Docker Toolbox, you don't need to install it again using the following link.
