# Git and source control Source control is an integral part of every developer's workflow. While Git is a powerful and ubiquitous tool, it is also quite difficult to master. For this reason, various UI's have been created to try and make working with source control a visual affair. VS Code provides a robust integration with Git and other source control providers so that you can work with those providers right alongside your code. In this module, you'll learn how the most common workflows for Git, as well as some of the places where a visual source control tool comes in super handy, such as resolving merge conflicts. You'll also learn how to interact with pull requests and Github comments directly from VS Code. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
