I. Why Git?
- Time Saving:
Git is lightning fast. And although we’re talking about only a few seconds per command, it quickly adds up in your work day. Use your time for something more useful than waiting for your version control system to get back to you.
- Work offline:
What if you want to work while you’re on the move? With a centralized VCS like Subversion or CVS, you’re stranded if you’re not connected to the central repository. With Git, almost everything is possible simply on your local machine: make a commit, browse your project’s complete history, merge or create branches… Git let’s you decide where and when you want to work.
2. Undo mistake:
People make mistakes. A good thing about Git is that there’s a little “undo” command for almost every situation. Correct your last commit because you forgot to include that small change. Revert a whole commit because that feature isn’t necessary, anymore. And when the going gets tough you can even restore disappeared commits with the Reflog — because, behind the scenes, Git rarely really deletes something. This is peace of mind.
