Git

you can thank our lord savior linus torvald (founder of Linux) for making git available to everyone

It takes "saving your work" to a new level. It's a lot like the snapshots feature for virtual machines

Git has always had serious limitations with git blame command and its output per line.

Forget Subversion and VCS. git just rules. It has great integration with VSCodium and there's many platforms that support git (GitHub, GitLab, etc).

There is basically no way around it anymore. Pretty much every software project uses git for version control and collaboration. It is easy to use and useful, even for private projects in a local directory.

The best thing about Git is that multiple people can work on the same file at the same time without worrying about someone else having the file checked out, or keeping their working copy up to date. As long as the changes are in different parts of the file, Git will happily merge them. The second best thing is that you can do just about anything with it. But the syntax is so cryptic, you'll only remember the commands you use most often, and you'll want to bookmark the documentation.

So: 5 stars for capability, 5 for flexibility, 2 for usability, averaging out to 4.

its the best VCS
