Introduction to Git:
• Git is a powerful and widely-used version control system that revolutionizes the
way developers collaborate on projects, track changes, and manage code.
• Whether you're working on a small personal project or contributing to a large
team effort, Git helps you maintain a clear history of your codebase, facilitates
efficient collaboration, and empowers you to work confidently.
• At its core, Git is like a time machine for your code. It allows you to capture
snapshots of your work at different points in time, making it easy to track changes,
compare versions, and collaborate with others seamlessly.
• With Git, you can work on new features, fix bugs, experiment with ideas, and
safely roll back to previous states if needed.
