Part of being a programmer is by understanding the use of Git, because sometimes the project you do is a collaboration work with the others. It would be devastating if you or somebody else replaced each other’s elegantly-hard-thought code without knowing the changes.
Quoted from the source: “Git is a free and open source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency.”
It’s a version control system. To make it simple, here are some of the main uses of using Git:
No need to copy-paste code changes, eliminating human error on updates.
Track the updates made by the programmers in a project, enabling one to review the changes made by the others.
Notify update conflicts if a programmer does an update from an outdated version.
Rollback changes in a version if necessary.
Track multiple versions of updates.
Merge some versions to become one version only.
And some other uses I don’t know yet. Though, I survived this far from only this much.
