Git

Git is a distributed version control system designed to track changes in source code during software development. It enables multiple developers to collaborate on projects by managing revisions, branching, merging, and history. It is widely used for source code management and is the foundation for platforms like GitHub and GitLab.

Also known as: GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Version Control, Source Control
