Git
Git is a distributed version control system designed to track changes in source code during software development. Created by Linus Torvalds in 2005, Git allows multiple developers to collaborate on a project by providing tools to manage code changes, branch and merge code, and maintain a history of all modifications. Each developer has a complete copy of the project repository, enabling them to work independently and merge contributions seamlessly. Git’s powerful features, such as branching, merging, and conflict resolution, make it an essential tool for managing complex development workflows and ensuring code integrity. It is widely used in the software industry and supports numerous collaborative platforms, including GitHub, Azure DevOps, GitLab, and Bitbucket.
