Key Concepts and Tools in PCB Design

Git: Version Control

• Definition: Git is a version control system. It is primarily used by programmers to track changes in code and manage different versions of a project.
• Purpose: It allows developers to work on a project from multiple devices (e.g., "laptop a," "laptop b") and efficiently combine their efforts without losing progress or causing conflicts. It helps to prevent issues that might arise when flexible PCB designs or other project files are pushed to a central repository.

Flexible PCBs and Traces

• PCB (Printed Circuit Board) Definition: A PCB is a piece of ceramic material that is
