Overall Satisfaction with Git

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Git is used by my department and it is what we used to store and track all of our development projects. For any projects that require some type of programming, Git is used in order for us to maintain and update our code. Git allows us to easily share and manage our project all in one area.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Git does a fantastic job of tracking changes within your code. You can see all of your previous versions and it allows you to see easily who made the changes and when the changes were made.
Git allows you to revert your changes to current versions or commits should your project need to go back to how it behaved in the past.
Git does a great job of allowing multiple developers to work on one project by creating different branches within your git project.

Cons

Git may take some time to get grasp if you have never used it before in your development process. It can be intimidating to try to learn at first.
Git has some strange behaviour of autocrlf in Windows.

Return on Investment

Git has had a positive impact in our organization because it provided a standard way to store all of our development projects.
Git has made our development process more structured and efficient allowing us to troubleshoot our projects easier.
Git has been a positive solution for us because it has provided us a great process when working with a team of developers.

Likelihood to Recommend

Git is great for keeping track of your project when multiple developers are in the picture. This will allow you to see all the changes within the project and contributions of all of the developers and prevent overwriting of each other's code. Another great use for Git is creating multiple environments. For instance, having a staging environment that would allow you to see how your code behaves before merging your new code into your production environment.
