This article will provide you with both.
Upon reading this guide you’ll be able to:

Why should you care about Git?
If you haven’t used Git yet, you may wonder why should you go for it. Here is a bunch of reasons.
Advantages of Git Distributed Version Control System

- Prevents loosing files and overwriting changes
- Enables quick and easy rollbacks of changes when necessary
- Streamlines parallel development of new features
- Facilitates collaboration with other developers
Cool, huh? The best thing is it gets even cooler if you add Continuous Deployments to the recipe. And there’s no better way to do that than with Buddy.

- Sharing project status with everyone around
- Less complicated development environment — a boost to productivity
- Higher quality of your software and your life — less bugs, less stress
