Version control for hardware developers // Git, GitHub, KiCad

#git #github #hardware
This will be a thorough walkthrough of some common git commands like git commit, git branch, git log, git submodules, git tags, and git hooks with a simple KiCad project and Arduino firmware files. We will also push the local repository to GitHub and explore some GitHub features such as tags, pull requests, adding messages that can change some GitHub status of closing the raised bugs.
