1. How did viewing a diff between two versions of a file help you see the bug that was introduced?

	The diff made it easy. All I had to do was look for lines that were new
	and scan through each of the lines to find the typo.

2. How could having easy access to the entire history of a file make you a more efficient programmer in the long term?

	It would make it a lot easier to track changes. If there was a bug I could revert back to 
	an earlier version without that bug. I would not have to remember exactly what I did last
	time around to make something 'work'. It would also allow me to collaborate with other
	people without having to swap files all the time.

3. What do you think are the pros and cons of manually choosing when to create a commit, like you do in Git, vs having versions automatically saved, like Google docs does?

	Pros: You can choose more logical commit points and not have to clutter up your commit history
	Cons: You can sometimes forget to commit for a long time and there are too many chanages between commits.

4. Why do you think some version control systems, like Git, allow saving multiple files in one commit, while others, like Google Docs, treat each file separately?

	Git is for coding. Often times programs span multiple files so a change in one file might affect the behavior of the main program file. Google Docs treats it differently because the work is usually done in only one file.

5. How can you use the commands git log and git diff to view the history of files?

	git log will give you a list of commits and see the comments for each change
	git diff will point out the specific changes between each commit

6. How might using version control make you more confident to make changes that could break something?
	
	With version control I could revert back to an earlier working version of the program with just a
	single command prompt! Even if I break something I can just go back and try again. No worries, no 
	hassles.

7. Now that you have your workspace set up, what do you want to try using Git for?

	I want to use Git to keep track of my progress on the Front-End Nano Degree projects. I want to be 
	able to try out new changes and maybe more difficult code without having to worry about changing it
	back if I can't get it to work out.
