Wikipedia

  1. Git

    Git () is a distributed version control system that tracks changes in any set of computer files, usually used for coordinating work among programmers collaboratively developing source code during software development. Its goals include speed, data integrity, and support for distributed, non-linear workflows (thousands of parallel branches running on different systems).Git was originally authored by Linus Torvalds in 2005 for development of the Linux kernel, with other kernel developers contributing to its initial development. Since 2005, Junio Hamano has been the core maintainer. As with most other distributed version control systems, and unlike most client–server systems, every Git directory on every computer is a full-fledged repository with complete history and full version-tracking abilities, independent of network access or a central server. Git is free and open-source software distributed under the GPL-2.0-only license.

    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. It is commonly used for source code management in software development and other multi-contributor projects. It allows multiple people to work on the same project or files simultaneously and keeps track of changes made to the files, making it possible to revert back to earlier versions if necessary.
