• A distributed version control system for tracking changes in source code during software development. Git is designed for coordinating work among programmers, but it can be used to track changes in any set of files. Its goals include speed, data integrity, and support for distributed, non-linear workflows. As with most other distributed version control systems, and unlike most client–server systems, every Git directory on every computer is a full-fledged repository with complete history and full version-tracking abilities, independent of network access or a central server. Git was created in 2005 by Linus Torvalds. ← Wikipedia ↑ git-scm.com
