Why this topic matters

Most people use AI coding tools like a chat window: paste code, get code back, copy-paste, repeat. There's no history, no undo, no record of what worked. One overwritten file and hours of work vanish. Git and GitHub give your AI-built app real version control, so you can track changes. We'll also talk about GitHub Copilot and its capabilities.
