It covers the initialization of a Git repository, the concepts of staging and committing, and the process of preparing code for a push to GitHub. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of version control in collaborative projects and provides step-by-step instructions for managing code changes effectively.

What is the primary purpose of using a version control system like Git?

• To automate code testing

• To track changes and collaborate on projects
