What is Git?
Git, originally developed by Linus Torvalds in 2005, is an open source, distributed version control system used to track and manage changes within a code repository.
Using Git, developers can modify code in parallel and track changes over time, reduce code conflicts and increase workflow efficiency among developers of the same application.
