Una volta imparato per ciò che mi serviva fare, mi ha aiutato in tantissimi campi oltre che per quello dello sviluppo. Pros Git è il miglior software di versionamento del codice, inoltre è open source e ben mantenuto e integrato con tantissimi altri software. Cons Git purtroppo risulta difficile da imparare se non si sa niente della linea di comando e del terminale, e bisogna passarci del tempo se si vuole conoscere a pieno ogni sua funzionalità. Inoltre, manca di interfacce GUI proprietarie. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Saved our team's behind countless times, especially using the gitflow branching pattern. Pros It allows my team to keep organized with their codebases. It's honestly essential. Any project, even if its temporary or exploratory, starts with a \`git init\`. Cons It would be nice if git had some clearer function names. Things like 'git rebase' make little sense unless you already know what the function does.
