When to use

"Use when a system evolves over time and you need to understand its evolution. Track changes as versions, compare versions to see what changed, and roll back if needed. Makes evolution visible and reversible."

Example

"Git tracks every change to a codebase. You can see what changed between any two versions, who changed it, and why (commit message). If a change breaks something, you can revert to a previous version. The versioning makes the codebase's evolution auditable."

Common misuse

"Versioning without meaningful commit messages. A version history of fix, update, stuff is no more useful than no version history. The value is in the diff and the explanation."
