Git vs Nightwatchjs: What are the differences?
Developers describe Git as "Fast, scalable, distributed revision control system". Git is a free and open source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency. On the other hand, Nightwatchjs is detailed as "Automated testing and continous integration framework based on node.js and selenium webdriver". Nightwatch.js is an easy to use Node.js based End-to-End (E2E) testing solution for browser based apps and websites. It uses the powerful Selenium WebDriver API to perform commands and assertions on DOM elements.
Git can be classified as a tool in the "Version Control System" category, while Nightwatchjs is grouped under "Browser Testing".
Git and Nightwatchjs are both open source tools. Git with 28.2K GitHub stars and 16.3K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Nightwatchjs with 9.43K GitHub stars and 927 GitHub forks.
Netflix, reddit, and Lyft are some of the popular companies that use Git, whereas Nightwatchjs is used by WebbyLab, UniSharp, and GoEuro. Git has a broader approval, being mentioned in 3933 company stacks & 4785 developers stacks; compared to Nightwatchjs, which is listed in 16 company stacks and 5 developer stacks.
