This video would show you how to make a Git server. Git is used to save progress of projects. But having a Git server means that you could backup the projects on another computer. In this case the "another computer" is an Ubuntu Linux machine that we SSH to. I recommend setting up ssh before the project. After that the output PC is the Mac OS X El Capitan machine. Everything is done through the terminal in this video and since the text is quite small in this video, I recommend to go full screen on YouTube. But making a Git server means you could back up your progress and if there was a system failure or the internet connection is down, you have a backup of the progress on both of the machines. Also for more backups you could add a third machine. So these are the reasons why you have to make a Git Server. Install Git on Ubuntu Linux or any other Debian based Linux distribution:
sudo apt-get install git
