# Working with Git

Git integration in Paradime provides comprehensive version control for your dbt™ projects, ensuring safe collaboration and code management. Whether you're new to Git or an experienced user, Paradime offers the right interface for your workflow.

### Git Modes in Paradime

Paradime supports two Git interfaces designed for different user needs:

* [**Git Lite**](https://docs.paradime.io/app-help/concepts/working-with-git/git-lite): Simplified interface with built-in safeguards for Git beginners.
* [**Git Advanced**](https://docs.paradime.io/app-help/concepts/working-with-git/git-advanced): Full-featured Git interface for experienced users who need complete control

Choose your preferred mode in [IDE Preferences](https://docs.paradime.io/app-help/documentation/code-ide/user-interface/ide-preferences#git-experience-modes).
