Git is a version control system; it provides a set of tools to track the evolution of source code. It is ubiquitous; anyone touching code will more than likely have to use Git. Data practitioners are expected to be comfortable and proficient with Git.
However, many people don’t really understand how Git works and they struggle using it. They memorize a set of mysterious commands and when to use them. By understanding how Git works, one can start seeing Git as a tool to make your life easier rather than a burden and something you need to use.
