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 branching, merging, and reverting changes, providing a complete history of modifications to files and directories.

Also known as: Git VCS, Git SCM, Git version control, Git tool, Git system

Why learn Git?

Developers should learn Git because it is the industry standard for version control, essential for team collaboration, code review, and managing project history in software development. It is used in scenarios like open-source contributions, continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, and maintaining backup snapshots of codebases.
