## Description

With more and more tools abstracting from a developers workflows, understanding how git visualization tools help - not simply using it - is more important than ever. In this article, we take a look at the history of git workflows, the basics of git, and the renaissance of understanding version control in a world gone mad for “vibe coding”.
