Benefits of version control

  • Track changes on steroids

    • Tracks every change ever made in groups called commits
    • Every commit stores the full state of all of your files at that time
    • Never lose anything
    • Easily unbreak your code/data/manuscript
    • No more file name changes

  • Collaboration
