Git is a free and open-source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency. Created by Linus Torvalds, it has become the de facto standard for modern software development.
Core concepts include:
- Repositories (
.git): The database tracking all changes. - Commits: Snapshots of your files at a specific point in time.
- Branches: Independent lines of development.
- Merging & Rebasing: Combining changes from different branches.
