Why use Git for version control?
- History: Git keeps track of every change made to the code, making it easy to revert to previous versions of the project if needed.
- Collaboration: Git enables multiple developers to work together on a project, reducing conflicts and simplifying the merge process.
- Flexibility: Git is platform-agnostic, meaning you can use it on any operating system and integrate it with other tools.
