Section 1
The big idea
AI can write code 10x faster than you can review it, which means you can break a working project very quickly. Git is the safety net that lets you experiment without fear, roll back instantly, and collaborate with others. AI tools also make git itself way easier to learn — you can ask for help on every command.
Some examples
- Commit working versions before any big AI-driven change.
- Use branches when AI is going to make sweeping edits.
- If something breaks, 'git diff' tells you exactly what changed.
- Ask AI to explain any git command you don't recognize.
Try it!
Today, initialize git on any project you're working on. Make your first commit.
