# Track changes with version control
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
You don't need to do this, but it's a nice way to keep track of changes to your data.  
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## git
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Start tracking changes:\
 | 
						|
`git init && git add 2017.journal && git commit 2017.journal -m "first commit"`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
View uncommitted changes: `git status`, `git diff` 
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Commit changes: `git commit 2017.journal -m "updates"`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
View past commits: `git log`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## darcs
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
`darcs init && darcs add 2017.journal && darcs record 2017.journal -m "first commit"`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
`darcs whatsnew`, `darcs diff`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
`darcs record 2017.journal -m "updates"`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
`darcs log`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## etc. |
