An useful and stable version control solution that finishes projects rapidly
Pros and Cons
- "Code versioning, for example, we work in the branch and want to come back to this branch another time.Git is a very useful tool, helpful to collaborate with other members in the group to finish more rapidly our work."
- "About the configuration it is a little bit difficult, it can be improved."
What is our primary use case?
The most used case for it is managing code versions when working on a project with many developers. After we merge it, the dash is merged in the master dash. Next, when we merge its branch to replace it with the master and resolve conflicts, we collaborate to finish the project.
What is most valuable?
Code versioning, for example, we work in the branch and want to come back to this branch another time.Git is a very useful tool, helpful to collaborate with other members in the group to finish more rapidly our work.
What needs improvement?
About the configuration it is a little bit difficult, it can be improved.

How was the initial setup?
The initial setup of Git can be difficult but once you master the solution it is a useful tool and works on many difficulties by rapidly completing the task.

Consultant/Software Engineer at a computer software company with 10,001+ employees
CLI and GUI-supported; stable and scalable
Pros and Cons
- "What I find the most valuable about Git is that it is CLI and GUI-supported. People who do not like using the CLI mode can use the GUI mode."
- "I would rate the initial setup process a four, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the most difficult and 10 being the easiest. The reason for this rating is that once there are conflicts, it takes a lot of effort to resolve them."
What is our primary use case?
Our primary use case is source control and code checking. We used it as version control for collaboration projects. The most important use case is being able to look into the code. Somebody can publish the code publicly in a standard format, which organizes the standard format of code. Then, the team follows the structure of the README file and the code structure.
I also used this solution to make my resume stand out.
What is most valuable?
What I find the most valuable about Git is that it is CLI and GUI-supported. People who do not like using the CLI mode can use the GUI mode. The solution also now comes with the VS (Visual Studio) code. The ID comes with the Git adapter. This is handy, that is why there is wide adoption of Git.
What needs improvement?
We have had a mixed reaction to the newly-introduced code pilot. It improved the coding but was also gave too much to the AI and people are concerned that Git Copilot could result in a lot of job losses.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Git for four years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I would rate the stability of this solution a 10, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I would rate the scalability of this solution a 10, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Prior to Git, I used TortoiseSVN.
How was the initial setup?
I would rate the initial setup process a four, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the most difficult and 10 being the easiest. The reason for this rating is that once there are conflicts, it takes a lot of effort to resolve them.
What other advice do I have?
For the people looking to use this solution, I would say, go through some of the basic videos and learn the basic commands to get started and then explore more of the features. Get some hands-on experience and collaborate with others to find out more about the solution.
Overall, I would rate Git a nine, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best.
