What is Git?

Git is a free and open-source distributed version control system that enables software developers to efficiently manage and collaborate on projects of any size. It provides a robust set of features to track code changes, facilitate teamwork, and streamline software development workflows. Git's distributed nature allows for local branching, convenient staging areas, and support for multiple development workflows, outclassing traditional source control management (SCM) tools like Subversion, CVS, Perforce, and ClearCase. With its lightning-fast performance and small footprint, Git is easy to learn and can be seamlessly integrated with other development tools, making it a versatile solution for businesses of all sizes
