# Version Control

> Git in the Paradime Code IDE: choose between Git Lite and Git Advanced, and inspect history with GitLens, all without leaving the editor.

The Code IDE connects directly to your Git repository. You can branch, commit, push, and open pull requests without leaving the editor, and inspect the history of any line or file inline.

## Choose your Git experience

Paradime gives you two source control interfaces. Switch between them from the **Switch to Git Advanced** / **Switch to Git Lite** control in the status bar.

|                | [Git Lite](/products/code-ide/version-control/git-lite)      | [Git Advanced](/products/code-ide/version-control/git-advanced) |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Best for**   | Everyday dbt™ development                                    | Complex Git operations                                          |
| **Style**      | Opinionated, guided flow                                     | Full source control view                                        |
| **Highlights** | AI-assisted commits, one-click Ship it, Draft PR with DinoAI | Staging, amending, and fine-grained control                     |

<Info>
  Git functionality is always available in the [terminal](/products/code-ide/run-and-preview/terminal) too, regardless of which mode you use.

## Inspect history with GitLens

[GitLens](/products/code-ide/version-control/gitlens) adds line and file history, commit and branch browsing, and inline blame annotations directly in the editor.
