What is Git? What is the standard workflow pipeline when taking a task into work?

Git is a distributed version control system that allows tracking changes in files and coordinating work among multiple developers on a single project.

The standard Git workflow when taking on a task usually looks like this:

1. Update the local repository:

   git checkout main
   git pull origin main
   

2. Create a new branch for the task:

   git checkout -b feature/task_name
   

3. Work on the task, commit changes with meaningful messages:

   git add .
   git commit -m "Added functionality X for task Y"
   

4. Periodically pull changes from the main branch to avoid conflicts:

   git fetch origin
   git rebase origin/main
   

5. After completing the work — push the branch to the remote repository and create a pull request (merge request) for review:

   git push origin feature/task_name
   

This approach helps isolate work on the task, maintain code relevance, and facilitate change integration.
