Git is a distributed version control system used to manage source code, documents, and other files in a collaborative environment. It was created by Linus Torvalds in 2005 and has since become one of the most popular version control systems in use today. Git allows multiple developers to work on the same project simultaneously, and it tracks changes made to files over time, allowing users to revert to earlier versions if necessary. It also allows for branching and merging, making it easy to create new features or experiment with different ideas without affecting the main codebase. Git is commonly used in the development of software applications, websites, and other digital projects.
