Resume Builder Dev – GitHub Setup & Version Control | Track Your Progress Like a Pro

🔥 In Part 3 of the Build Your Own Resume Builder series, we connect our project to Git and GitHub — enabling version control, team collaboration, and safe backups as we build. It’s a must-have skill for any serious developer.

✅ What you’ll learn in this video:
✔️ Initializing a local Git repository in your project folder
✔️ Creating a .gitignore file to keep things clean (e.g., node_modules, .DS_Store)
✔️ Making your first commit with a meaningful message
✔️ Creating a new GitHub repository and connecting it via terminal
✔️ Pushing your local code to GitHub and setting up the remote origin
✔️ Best practices for commit messages and version tracking

💡 Why GitHub Setup Matters:
🔹 Protects your code with cloud backup and change tracking
🔹 Helps you collaborate and build in public
🔹 Looks professional in portfolios and resumes
🔹 Essential for deploying to platforms like Netlify or Vercel later on
