What is git and why do you need it?

Git is one of the most popular version control systems and it helps software developing teams manage changes to their source code over time. In other words, version control keeps track of every change in your code and it allows you to go back in time when something goes wrong.

Also, it is really helpful to prevent concurrent work from conflicting when multiple people are working in the same project. An individual may be working on the sidebar navigation while another one is simultaneously updating the header.

Version control systems facilitate the work of multiple individuals by allowing them to use different branches as part of one "file tree" and merge their updated code to one source of truth when it's ready.
