Git

What is it?

Git is a distributed version control system that tracks changes in files. It enables developers to collaborate on projects, track changes, revert to earlier versions, and work on features in parallel via branches. Git is the industry standard for version control in software development.

Practical example

When working on a new feature you create a branch: git checkout -b feature/login. After finishing, you merge back to main with a pull request so teammates can review the code.
