Source Control, a thing you should probably always have

Описание: In the last video I talked about backup up GameMaker projects using GM's project archiver. But you shouldn't rely on that for regular backups, so instead let's talk about source control! You should pretty much always be using source control.

Git, itself:

Github Desktop:
