 You can think of it like a video game. You get to a certain point in the game, after hours of struggle. You're really proud of how far you've come, and don't want to do it over again in case you die. So you decide to _save your game_. If something bad happens after that point you can always reload your game and start from that point on.
 
-This is exactly what happens with GIT: however, instead of calling it _saving your game_ we call it **committing your changes**. A "change" is a code modification you made within a working day.
+This is exactly what happens with GIT: however, instead of calling it _saving your game_ we call it **committing your changes**. A "change" is a code modification you made in one or more files. It's recommended to commit multiple times a day, every time you make something that is worth saving. Making commits often also makes it easier to reset your work to the last working state. Discarding changes with GIT is beter than to trust on CTRL-Z to undo failed attempts.
 
 If you ever would want to go back to a previous _game save_ you can make GIT help you do so by **checking out to that commit**. You will learn more about that in the next sections.

+It's up to personal preference what works the best, both CLI and GUI will use the same underlying system.
+You can even use both in the same project, e.g. commands on the CLI will reflect instantly in the GUI.
+The main advantage of a GUI is that it has a visual overview of all commits and branches, local and remote.

 This might sound very abstract, and it is. So to make it more comprehensible, you can watch the following videos and/or try stuff in the Git playground:

-> Tip: you can either use the CLI to make your git commands or use a GUI. The most used is [Git Kraken](https://www.gitkraken.com/) and it visualises what happens. VSCode also has an integrated Git activity tab that you can use. Try them out and see what you prefer!

 In this homework you'll be working with GIT and GitHub. Follow the steps to learn how to create a remote repository and work with it from your local machine:
 
 1. Create a repository on GitHub, called `animals`
