Re: This is why I love git
Yes. Source control / change management Is Your Friend. Want to experiment? Take a private branch and bang away to your heart's content. Commit early and often.
Though personally I always try to use remote source control, even if it's just to a server on a machine in the next room, for redundancy. I've had drives fail hard with no warning, so it's nice to have a copy of what-I-was-doing-5-minutes-ago to hand.
