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

   I had a lot less information to sift through.

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

    Makes recovering from a typo much quicker so I can spend less time recovering from typos. Also, I can reintroduce changes a little at a time so I can see where problems are being introduced.

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?

    In GIT I get to choose when I save a version so I know what I have. With an auto save, I'm not sure what I have when going to an older version. So I have to try different versions until I find one that doesn't have the problem. On the other hand, I can lose a lot of code if I don't save often enough.

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 potentially saves time by saving all files necessary for a particular application so I can be sure I can get back to a good point on all the needed files vs having some that may be needed potentially having issues.

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

How might using version control make you more confident to make changes that
could break something?

    I know I can always go back to a working system.

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

How could having easy access to the entire history of a file make you a more efficient programmer in the long term?
	If something is broken but was working in an older version I could always go back to anolder version to find one that works. 

	If a bug didn't show up immediately, I could always go back to an older version and check where it stopped working or see if it ever worked properly.
