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, and merging code efficiently. It is the foundation for modern software repositories and is widely used for source code management.

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