Staging Area: Git provides staging area, where you can preview the changes before commit.
Offline working: You can continue work offline with GIT, even you’ve issues with your internet connection.
Undo: Git offers undo operation for the things you carry in code.
Changes Tracking: Git offers Diff, Log and Status, which are handy to track changes so we can check the status, compare our files or branches.
