Co-author commits with Git Mob
Published
As the co-creator of Git Mob, a CLI tool to add multiple co-authors to a commit, I thought a good addition would be to build a UI around it in VS Code. This makes it super simple to see who you are co-authoring with and change without needing to remember any commands. Most importantly it consistently generates the meta data for co-authoring commits to GitHub. See Git Mob for VS Code to get started.

GIT is an excellent version control system with its GUI GIT Extensions. Something I was thinking about was finding a way to push only the project file changes to the live server. Ideally being able to choose a committed version to push live, or roll back too. There are ways like bundling the project into a .zip or .tar file and deploying it.
