There are important reasons why using version control will help you in the long run:
- It will keep you from losing important data or code
- It will help you code more efficiently
- It will help you share and collaborate more effectively
git is one of the most popular version control systems available. It records incremental changes in code over time using a series of commits, that are detailled using comments.
Over time it is possible to see the evolution of a particular project, from the initial commit to the final version.
