Git

Git is a distributed version control system designed to track changes in source code during software development. It enables multiple developers to collaborate on projects efficiently by managing revisions, branching, and merging. It is widely used for managing source code repositories across various platforms and industries.

Also known as: GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Version Control, SCM
