Git

Git is a distributed version control system that tracks changes in source code during software development. It allows multiple developers to collaborate on projects by managing revisions, branching, and merging code efficiently. It is widely used for its speed, data integrity, and support for non-linear workflows.

Also known as: git, GitHub, GitLab, version control, source control

Why learn Git?

Developers should learn Git because it is essential for collaborative coding, enabling team coordination, code history tracking, and rollback capabilities. It is crucial for modern software development workflows, including continuous integration/deployment (CI/CD), open-source contributions, and managing project versions across distributed teams.
