Version Control Basics: Why Every Developer Uses Git

Version control tracks every change made to a codebase over time, recording who changed what and when.

The Problem It Solves

Without it, teams resort to naming files "final_v2_reallyfinal.php" — version control replaces that chaos with a complete, searchable history and the ability to safely undo any change.

Why Git Specifically

Git is the dominant version control system because it works offline, handles branching (parallel versions of code) efficiently, and pairs with platforms like GitHub for team collaboration.
