I just learn git basic at treehouse here. I understand the concept of it but how can I really get start?
I'm using MAMP environment for my work. I'm doing my project without using VCS before. Because I doing it alone and my project are not complicated. But I really want to try using VCS on my next project.
I'm new on VCS, I just curious how can VCS really use on my code. I do appreciate for people who try to explain. Thanks

In a nutshell, use it just like in the Git Basics course. As you are developing a project use git on your local machine and commit changes along the way. If you want them hosted elsewhere or want to share them others, you can push them up to gitHub.
I read an interesting article the other day about the way an author utilizes git for his writing. That may give you some additional examples or thoughts on uses.
For your own project(s) to try it out, play around with some of the options, make some branches, revert some changes, etc. Then take a look at what it enables you to do in your project(s).
Just some quick thoughts. Git is way more powerful than that, but it should get you started.
