### Using Git

One of the main barriers to getting started with Git is the language. Although some of the language used in Git is
fairly self-explanatory, other terms are not so clear. The best way to get to learn the language - which consists of a
number of verbs such as `add`, `commit` and `push` (preceded by the word 'git') - is by using it, which is what we will be doing during this
lesson. These commands will be explained as we proceed from setting up a new version-controlled project to publishing
our own website.
One of the main barriers to getting started with Git is understanding the terminology necessary to executing commands. Although some of the language used in Git aligns with common-use words in English, other terms are not so clear. The best way to learn Git terminology - which consists of a number of verbs such as add, commit and push (preceded by the word 'git') - is to use it, which is what we will be doing during this lesson. We will explain these commands as we proceed from setting up a new version-controlled project to publishing our own website.

On a command line interface, Git commands are written as `git verb options`,
where `verb` is what we actually want to do and `options` is additional optional information which may be needed for the `verb`. So let's get started with our setup.
