Outside of the "saving my butt," like saving dozens/hundreds of hours of re-writing (probably by enforcing a backup copy of deployed code), I find git helps me gain time in numerous other ways: 1. git blame 2. git log (to re-assert where I left off, among other things) 3. git diff before a commit helping me to remember to remove test/debug code 4. github/gitlab etc search features occasionally I wouldn't dream of going back to a non-git workflow. PS: less/sass are cool. not necessarily time-savers but they make nice, clean css source.
