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 efficiently. It is widely used for its speed, data integrity, and support for non-linear workflows.

Also known as: SCM, Version Control, VCS, Source Control, Revision Control

Why learn Git?

Developers should learn Git because it is the industry standard for source code management, essential for team collaboration, code review, and maintaining project history. It is crucial for use cases like open-source contributions, continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, and managing feature branches in agile development environments.
