Why Git?
Git is a distributed version control system that allows developers to track changes in their code over time. It's an essential tool for collaboration, enabling multiple people to work on the same project simultaneously without overwriting each other's work.
Key Benefits
- History Tracking: Revert to any previous version of your code.
- Branching & Merging: Experiment with new features in isolation.
- Collaboration: Push and pull changes to shared repositories on GitHub.
- Distributed: Every developer has a full copy of the repository.
