git

While rewriting a reversi project from a game programming book to help myself learn python, I ran into difficulty reorganizing the code to extract out a new class. I'm not exactly sure why it took so long and still isn't readable. I believe if I had made the change on a parallel set of files I might now be able to go back and attempt to redo what went wrong. As a result, I'm installing git as a version control system even though I am the only one working on this project. I found a beginner tutorial on getting started with git and also found a git extensions project that has visual studio integration. Now I will need to remember to commit before each set of changes to the project. I had already installed git on a laptop, but lately I've started to develop on my old desktop where I had not done much work on as far as I can recall.
