Git is a version control system that is widely used in the field of software development, including UX design. It is a tool that allows multiple people to collaborate on a project, keep track of changes, and easily revert to previous versions if necessary. In UX design, Git is particularly useful for managing the various files that make up a design project, including wireframes, mockups, and code.
By far, the most widely used modern version control system in the world today is Git. Git is a mature, actively maintained open-source project originally developed in 2005 by Linus Torvalds, the famous creator of the Linux operating system kernel. A staggering number of software projects rely on Git for version control, including commercial projects as well as open source. Developers who have worked with Git are well represented in the pool of available software development talent and it works well on a wide range of operating systems and IDEs (Integrated Development Environments).
As designers, our final goal is to make great products for the end user. This is why our collaboration with developers is paramount in every product we build. We come up with a product concept. Create mockups and prototypes. Then hand over the final design to developers to get the project live. Using Git can help you manage changes and track the progress of your design work. Git allows you to create branches for different design iterations, merge changes, and roll back to previous versions if necessary.
To get started with Git, it is important to first understand the basic concepts and commands, such as cloning a repository, creating a new branch, committing changes, and pushing to a remote repository, and then start using an online Git platform, such as GitHub, Bitbucket, or GitLab to create a free account and practice using Git with sample projects.
Once you have a basic understanding of Git, it is important to develop good practices for collaboration, such as communicating with your team about changes and using descriptive commit messages. As you continue to work on UX design projects, you can also explore more advanced Git features, such as branching strategies and using Git with other design tools like Figma or Sketch.
