How can I use GIT in my own server?

How can I connect Git to my web server and Notepad++?

• I'm still very new to Git and not quite sure how it works. I use NPP to edit and I often find myself editting so much and not being able to revert back to a previous edit without having had backed something up. How can I use Notepad++ to connect to my web server and record all my saves with git, on the web server? If that's not how it works, could you please suggestive the best way to do something like this, with Notepad++?

• Answer:

  You cannot connect Git to Notepad++ or any software. Git is a version control system that tracks changes to files in any directory that you specify. I recommend that you learn the basics of Git from any online tutorial as there are many. All edits you make to files using your text editor are marked as modified files in Git. You don't 'backup' in Git and to explain everything from the beginning would be repetitive. You 'commit' changes you make in your directory and access those commits.
