1.How could having access to the entire history for a file make you a more efficient programmer in the long term?

- Detect bug introduced by a certain version of the file
- Understand the maturation of the code by studying the version history
- Code for code reviews
- Check the dev that has made changes

2. What do you think are the pros and cons of manually choosing when to create a commit, like you do in Git, vs having versions automatically saved, like Google Docs does?
- Have a granular control of your versioning, you can fine tune what each version will contain, a feature, a bug, a day's worth of code?
- Have to manually commit the changes, what happens if the computer crashes and no commit made?

3. Why do you think some version control systems, like Git, allow saving multiple files in one commit, while others, like Google Docs, treat each file seperately
- In development, mutliple files are in play, possibly, when working on a feature, therefore if there are changes
  in multiple files that dependent to each other those files should construct the story of that commit, that allows
  a developer to view the history of all files related to a certain bug or feature committed.

4. How might using version control make you more confident to make changes that could break something?
- more of a risk taker, can make significant changes
