    Admittedly i dont use source control myself as im a hobbiest, but I didnt realize that git was local. As for the recycle bin bit, yeah theyre kinda dumb. Is source control different from git?

      You may be confusing git with GitHub.

      git is a version control tool that lets you keep and manage a history of the files you are editing

      GitHub is a website (not directly affiliated with the group maintaining git) that lets you upload, backup, and share your code using the format used by the git tool.

      source control just refers to software to manage your source code in some form. git is the most popular tool of its kind, but there are others, for example mercurial.

      Hobbyist myself so no worries! Git is one example of source control / version control software. You normally have your local working copy of a repository and then a remote where you push your changes when they are finished or to share them with others.
