Git

Git is like a time machine for your code—it lets you go back to previous versions, see who made changes, and merge different versions together.

Developers use Git to manage code changes, collaborate on features, and track the history of a project’s development.

Git enables teams to collaborate on code effectively, manage changes, and maintain a history of code versions, reducing conflicts and errors.

Proper use of Git can lead to more efficient development processes, easier code management, and faster resolution of issues, contributing to higher-quality software.

• Use Case 1: Collaborating on a software project with multiple developers, each working on different features.
• Use Case 2: Managing code for a large project where changes need to be tracked and versioned.
• Use Case 3: Rolling back to a previous version of the code to fix an issue or revert changes.

‍

Commit changes frequently with clear messages; use branches to manage different features or versions; regularly merge and review code.

Not committing changes often enough; unclear commit messages; conflicts when merging code.

Commit frequency, number of branches, merge conflict rate.
