### Git Version Control

Version control is a system that trackss changes made to files over time which allows developers to save and track changes in folders and tghe files within, revert to preivous versions if something breaks or a feature doesn't work as intended and revert to a previous more stable version. Versional control also allows you to collabrate with multiple developers on one project without overwriting eachother's work, and if you are working independantly you can create branches for new attributes and bug repairs. For instance, continuious integration and continuious Delivery (CI/CD) automates the process of integrating code changes and eploying them to production, ensuring faster and error-free treleases. It also encourages cross-functional temas to work together and break down traditional silos between developers, testers, and operationds.
