Git is a distributed version control system that allows developers to track changes in code, collaborate with others, and maintain different versions of their code. It was created by Linus Torvalds in 2005 and has since become one of the most popular version control systems used by developers worldwide. Git works by creating snapshots of a project’s files over time, allowing users to easily revert to previous versions of their work if necessary. It also allows multiple developers to work on the same project simultaneously without interfering with each other’s work. Git is widely used for open source projects as well as commercial software development.
