Git is a powerful and popular version control system that allows you to track changes in your code and files, collaborating with other developers and works great with e.g., Visual Studio Code.

One of the benefits of using Git and GitHub, or similar platforms, to version your code, or use Source Control, is that you can easily integrate them with your editor of choice. For example, Visual Studio has a built-in Git support that allows you to perform common Git operations, such as staging, committing, pushing, pulling, branching, and merging, directly from the editor. You can also view the diff between versions, resolve conflicts, and access the command line if needed. This way, you can manage your code without leaving your editor, which can save you time and improve your workflow.
