Version Control

The Time Machine Safety Net: It’s not just about backing up code; it’s about the ability to fearlessly revert mistakes. It provides a granular history of every change, allowing you to pinpoint exactly when and where a bug was introduced.

Branching is Freedom: How to use branches to isolate new features or experimental fixes. This separates "work in progress" from "production-ready" code, allowing multiple developers to work on the same project simultaneously without stepping on each other's toes.

The "Why" Behind the Code: Emphasizing that Version Control is a communication tool. Good commit messages don't just say what changed, but why it changed, providing critical context for future developers (or your future self).

The Quality Gate: Using Pull Requests (or Merge Requests) not just to merge code, but as a structured venue for code review. This ensures that no code enters the main codebase without a second pair of eyes, maintaining standards and sharing knowledge.
