Git
What Is Git?
Git is a distributed version control system used to track changes in files, especially source code. It allows developers to work locally, create branches, record commits, and collaborate on shared repositories.
Why Git Matters
Git is a core part of modern software delivery because it helps teams:
- track code history precisely,
- work in parallel through branches,
- review and merge changes safely,
- recover from mistakes more easily.
How Git Is Commonly Used
A typical Git workflow includes:
- creating a branch,
- making commits,
- opening a pull request or merge request,
- merging after review and checks.
Git itself is the version control engine. Platforms such as GitHub and GitLab provide collaboration features around it.
