title: Why the combination of Maven with Git?
body: <p>I started a job in a company where they use Maven in combination with Git. I haven't worked with Maven before and I hope my question isn't too stupid. Why should one use Maven in combination with Git? From what I read Maven has a local, a central and can have a remote repository where it can find it's dependencies. This should enable a team of programmers to work together on the same code. What is the purpose of Git here? Would it be possible to program in a Team just with Maven and without the help of Git?</p>
