VS Code has some really nice Git integrations that they have well documented. We have tools like Git, which has been around for a while and hopefully you’ve heard of it.

If you need more versions, you keep copy/pasting until you get to “V3”, “V4”, “V_final”, then “V_finalfinal”, and then “_-this-time-for-real-final_version_V7”. The first thing you want to do when you need to modify a file is to copy and paste it, then rename the new file to “V2”. Today I wanna show you some tips in VS Code to prevent that from happening.
