Version Control Systems (VCS) are essential for tracking changes in files over time, allowing for easy reversion and recovery. Git, a Distributed VCS, is highlighted for its efficiency in storing snapshots of file states. The article provides a step-by-step guide on using Git commands such as git init, git status, git add, git commit, git log, git diff, and git checkout, emphasizing their roles in managing a local repository. The tutorial concludes with a promise to explore the relationship between Git and GitHub in future posts.

The article is a tutorial on the basics of using the Command Line Interface (CLI), covering commands such as pwd, ls, cd, mkdir, touch, open, rm, and mv. It provides syntax and examples for each command, aiming to help readers navigate directories, create and delete files, and move files on their computers. The tutorial is intended for users who are new to the CLI, with specific instructions for Mac and Windows users.

Issa Balla Moussa Sangaré, a Malian citizen, writes an open letter to Tiébilé Dramé, the president of the PARENA political party, acknowledging the party's efforts in the political sphere despite not having elected representatives. Sangaré challenges Dramé's statements on RFI about Mali's role in regional instability, arguing that the roots of terrorism in northern Mali are external, citing the Libyan war and the presence of foreign jihadists as contributing factors. He criticizes the attribution of terrorist acts in West Africa to Malians based on identification documents, which he argues are unreliable. Sangaré also agrees with Dramé's call for the Malian President to focus on domestic issues and expresses skepticism about receiving a response, citing the indifference of Malian politicians to ordinary citizens.
