# Working with Git

> Version-control your dbt™ project in Paradime with Git Lite or Git Advanced: branch, commit, push, resolve merge conflicts, and protect the main branch.

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**](/guides/working-with-git/git-lite): Simplified interface with built-in safeguards for Git beginners.
* [**Git Advanced**](/guides/working-with-git/git-advanced): Full-featured Git interface for experienced users who need complete control.

Choose your preferred mode in [IDE Preferences](/products/code-ide/write-code/preferences#git-workflow-preferences).

<Info>
  **Git CLI Support**

  The Git command line interface is available in the Paradime [Integrated Terminal](/products/code-ide/run-and-preview/index) regardless of your selected Git mode.
