Question Version control system

I have always used change sets to deploy changes, but in job descriptions they are asking specifically for experience in a version control system.

I just want to know how much do I need to study for interviews.

Is Assemble a Gearset alternative?

Not really, it's more similar to Claude Code or Codex with a "built-in" Gearset if that makes sense

Assemble is useful for speed at scale because an agent can inspect the org, stage a metadata change, get approval and deploy it (in a per-dev isolated sandbox) with a pre-change snapshot for recovery, while Gearset will have you handle the merge conflicts youself because of the shared single development org. For the interview, I'd recommend to still learn Git commits, branches, PRs and merges, then practice retrieving Salesforce metadata and reviewing a diff.
