I am using git and it makes copies of same file while I am working. It looks something like this on command line:

app/helpers/sessions_helper.rb
app/helpers/sessions_helper.rb~

Why does it happen? Am I missing something or doing it wrong way?

    Git isnt doing anything actively in the repo. It only does something when you initiated commands. Its your text editor creating a working version of your current script. If you want you can add the file pattern ~* to your .gitignore file
