Git is a distributed version control system used for tracking changes in computer files and coordinating work on those files among multiple people. It allows users to create different branches of the code, merge them together, and keep track of changes made over time. Git was created by Linus Torvalds in 2005 and has become one of the most popular version control systems in use today. It is widely used in software development, but can also be used for other types of projects that require version control, such as writing documents or creating artwork.
