Git's key idea: - it **stores all changes** to files over time; - it lets you **roll back to any state of the project**; - it lets **multiple developers work in parallel** without interfering with each other. ### Main features of Git: - storing change history (commits); - working with branches (branching and merging); - syncing the local repository with a remote one; - safe development without risk of losing code. Git **works locally**, and remote repositories (for example, GitHub, GitLab, Gitea) are just add-ons for collaboration.For the reviewerNote to the moderator (optional)Visible only to the moderator.
