Git is a distributed version control system used for tracking changes in source code during software development. It allows multiple developers to work on the same codebase simultaneously and merge their changes seamlessly. 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 open-source projects as well as commercial software development teams. Git provides a wide range of features, including branching, merging, tagging, committing, and cloning repositories. It also supports collaboration via pull requests and code reviews.
