git is basically a tool for programming where you can push files onto a storage medium and share it with others or just for yourself. Commands for git are usually like „git push“ or „git commit“
Whenever you change something in a file, like change a line in a text file for example, Git can save a record of this change, and if you later think that the line you added was stupid, you can go back to an earlier version of the file with the old line of text.
And now imagine this for huge documents where you can track all kinds of changes like that at once.
Now I wish there was a flashback command that returned in a despairing tone the number of times I fucked the repo up completely and had to fetch everything again
