Overview
What Git is
Git records snapshots of a project and supports branches, merges, and distributed collaboration. It supplies the history and diffs around an AI coding workflow. Git is the version-control system itself; hosted services such as GitHub add collaboration and automation.
For a first workflow, inspect the current branch and uncommitted changes. Work on a branch and review the generated file diff. Run relevant checks and commit the intended changes.
Use cases
Who Git is best for
The strongest fit depends on the job you need the product to complete, not the size of its feature list.
Collaborative development
Combine reviewed contributions while preserving project history.
Capabilities
Core Git features
Commits and history
Record a project state and inspect how files changed.
Branches
Keep a task separate until its changes are ready to integrate.
Diffs and merges
Compare changes and combine work from different branches.
Process
How the Git workflow works
Step 1
Start from a known state

Step 2
Make a scoped change
Work on a branch and review the generated file diff.
Step 3
Record the result
Run relevant checks and commit the intended changes.
