Hi Laura,

Thanks for your question.

When you use git for version control, everything is stored within your project folder in a hidden directory. Your time machine back-up will have all the git information in it, as well.

Also, if you upload your project to Github or Bitbucket, you will have a copy of your project in the cloud.

If you have any other questions, please let me know.

Thanks,

Nick
