    Information that is common for all testers (the number and names of project items, test item settings, the scripting language, etc.) is stored in the single project file that has the .mds extension.

    In regards to using the bash terminal, this essentially comes down to user preference. Though merge conflicts may be easier handle this way or through a UI tool like GitKraken. 

    I hope this helps!
