Git

Git is a distributed version control system that tracks changes in source code during software development, enabling multiple developers to collaborate on projects efficiently. It allows users to create repositories, commit changes, branch and merge code, and synchronize work across different environments.

Also known as: GitHub, GitLab, Git clone, Version control, Source control
