ProTip 1: No Git, No Glory — Agentic AI will wreck your code and your confidence. #agenticai

The first “don’t” I’d emphasize is: don’t get started without configuring your codebase with a version control system—basically Git, which is the most widely used one today.

Here’s why: when you give instructions to the agent, it might start creating new files or editing existing ones, potentially breaking parts of your application that were already working. In such cases, you should be able to easily discard the changes and revert to a known good state without losing the hard work you’ve already put in.

The easiest way to ensure this is by initializing Git in your project folder right from the start. If anything goes wrong, you can simply roll back and restart without stress.

I’ve seen people jump into agentic tools without Git, and before they know it, the tool creates tens or even hundreds of files. It might seem like things are working initially, but as you start tweaking stuff, even perfectly fine code can get overwritten. And when that happens, it becomes nearly impossible to track what changed—especially with that many files.

So, bottom line: don’t even think about starting agentic development without Git in place.
