get on it vs get on with it

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'Get on it' is used to ask someone to start working on a specific task or issue, while 'get on with it' is used to urge someone to continue or finish what they are doing. So, the choice between the two depends on whether you want someone to start something new or to continue with a current task.
