 ## How does aider use git?
 
-It is recommended that you use aider with code that is part of a git repo.
-This allows aider to maintain the safety of your code. Using git makes it easy to:
+Aider works best with code that is part of a git repo.
+Aider is tightly integrated with git, which makes it easy to:
 
-  - Undo any changes that weren't appropriate
+  - Undo any GPT changes that you don't like
   - Go back later to review the changes GPT made to your code
   - Manage a series of GPT's changes on a git branch
 
-Working without git means that GPT might drastically change your code
-without an easy way to undo the changes.

-Aider tries to provide safety using git in a few ways:
-
+Aider specifically uses git in these ways:
+ 
   - It asks to create a git repo if you launch it in a directory without one.
-  - Whenever GPT edits a file, those changes are committed with a descriptive commit message. This makes it easy to revert or review GPT's changes.
-  - If GPT tries to edit files that already have uncommitted changes (dirty files), aider will first commit those existing changes with a descriptive commit message. This makes sure you never lose your work if GPT makes an inappropriate change to uncommitted code.

+  - Aider takes special care if GPT tries to edit files that already have uncommitted changes (dirty files). Aider will first commit any preexisting changes with a descriptive commit message. This makes sure you never lose your work if GPT makes an inappropriate change. 
   
 Aider also allows you to use in-chat commands to `/diff` or `/undo` the last change made by GPT.
 To do more complex management of your git history, you cat use raw `git` commands,
-either by using `/git` or with git tools outside of aider.
-You can start a branch before using aider to make a sequence of changes.
-Or you can `git reset` a longer series of aider changes that didn't pan out. Etc.
+either by using `/git` within your chat, or with git tools outside of aider.
 
 While it is not recommended, you can disable aider's use of git in a few ways:
