TikZ is an immensely powerful LaTeX package for creating diagrams and graphics. TikZ has grown immensely popular since its first release in 2005, and there are now many other LaTeX packages that are based on it. This includes dedicated packages for drawing specific kinds of diagrams: tikz-cd, tikz-feynman, chemfig, etc.; as well as classes and packages that use TikZ to enhance various typesetting elements: beamer, tcolorbox, etc. Its underlying system is called PGF (a "portable graphics format" for TeX), so you may also see "pgf" in articles that discuss TikZ.

Overleaf’s Git integration and GitHub Synchronization give you powerful and flexible ways to work with your Overleaf projects. These features enable you to work offline, collaborate with non-Overleaf users using local LaTeX editors, and bring in and easily update research outputs/artifacts into your Overleaf project via Git.

We just added Git integration to our on-premises solution, Overleaf Server Pro (version 4.0), so now seems like a great opportunity to highlight what’s possible with these features.
