Track Work Locally with Git in MATLAB

To track changes to your files without sharing with others, you can create a local Git™ repository that is not synced with a remote repository. After you create a local repository, you can use source control actions in the Files or Project panel and the Source Control panel.

Tracking work locally using Git provides a robust framework for managing and safeguarding your code, supports best practices for software development, and lays the foundation for collaboration and scaling.

Note

Before using Git in MATLAB^®, set up your system to avoid binary file corruption. For more information, see Set Up Git Source Control.
