I have long been a fan of hardware virtualization, so when I purchased a new server to replace an aged one, I decided that it would be advantageous to make it a virtual host. The benefits of virtualization are now well-known to the IT community, and for my purposes, the biggest win is the ability to deploy new virtual servers quickly, while not having to make the two-hour trip to the co-location facility. What the heck? If hardware virtualization is good enough for cloud providers, then it should be good enough for me too!
Provide versioning and rollback capabilities to your source code with the resolution of individual code modifications.

Programmers in any language have supported multiple versions of source code during development, the simplest case being that you can keep a copy of the current production code while you work on a new version that contains your current development changes. But what if you wanted to document each change and have the ability to selectively reset any changes while supporting multiple developers working on the same source code? Git can help with this.
