Practice: Simulating Version Control

Since we don't have Git in this terminal, let's simulate version control manually! This will help you understand exactly what Git does behind the scenes.

Your Task

Create a "version history" by saving snapshots of a file:

1. Create the project: mkdir versions
2. Write version 1: echo "v1: Initial draft" > versions/story.txt
3. Save a snapshot: cp versions/story.txt versions/story_v1.txt
4. Write version 2: echo "v2: Added ending" > versions/story.txt
5. Save another snapshot: cp versions/story.txt versions/story_v2.txt
6. Verify with: ls versions/

This is exactly the problem Git solves — but Git does it automatically and much more efficiently!
